SUMMARY OF ASYLUM OPERATIONS.
The population of the Asylums of the Province has been increased during
the past year to the extent of 257 patients. On the 30th September, 1887, there
were 3,137 persons in residence in the Provincial Asylums. On the same date in
1888, there were in residence 3,394, the difference being, as stated above, 257.
In addition to those in the Asylums belonging to the Province, there were at
the close of the last official year no less than 102 persons insane and of unsound
mind confined elsewhere, viz., 15 in the Homewood Retreat, Guelph, 29 in the
insane wards of the Kingston Penetentiary, and 58 in the common gaols, some
of whom were fit subjects and were awaiting removal to the asylums, others were
undergoing examination and have since been discharged.
Then there were 360 applications for admission on fyle at the different
asylums, making a grand total of insane and idiotic persons known to the
Department of 3,856, or an increase on the whole over the previous year of 128.
The manner in which all these people are distributed amongst the various
asylums and other places is shown in the following:

Compared with the previous year the number of beds in the Toronto Asylum
remained unchanged, with two more patients than beds.
In London Asylum the number of beds remained the same, but they were
more than full, there being nine more patients in that Institution than there were
beds.
Kingston Asylum had five beds less than at the close of the previous year,
with 17 vacancies.
Hamilton Asylum, which had 625 beds on the 30th September, 1887, has had
the number increased by the completion of the New Cottage called " Orchard
House," to 890.
Orillia Asylum, by the completion of a portion of the new asylum, has had
its capacity increased from 210 beds in 1887 to 300 in 1888.
On the whole, the public asylum accommodation of the Province has been
increased during the year from 3,132 beds on the 30th September, 1887, to 3,482
on the same date in 1888, while the number of patients in the institutions has
been increased from 3,156 to 3,394.
Movements of A:>ylum Population.
Admissions.
On pages 2 and 3 of this report will be found Table No. 1 which shews the
movement of the entire asylum population of the Province. The total number of
lunatics and idiots in the asylums on the 30th September, 1887, was 3,137.
There have been admitted during the year 671 (566 lunatics, 105 idiots), making
the whole number which had been under treatment during the year 1888, 3,808,
an excess of 255 over the previous year. This large increase has been rendered
possible by the completion of new buildings at Hamilton and Orillia.
The following information, in respect to the nationalities, religious denomi-
nations and social state of the 671 patients admitted, as well as of the aggregate

Assigned Causes of Insanity.
From the returns made by the various Asylums, the following statement of
assigned causes of insanity, both predisposing and exciting, has been compiled.
It seems to be again necessary, on presenting this statement, to explain that the
cause as stated in each case is gathered from the so-called history of the case,
which accompanies the medical certificates on the admission of each patient. The
statements made as to " cause " in these cases are, very often, of small value
for various reasous — such as the want of knowledge of facts, carelessness in
stating them, or a desire on the part of relatives to conceal important facts which
should be told. Again, if a patient has been addicted to any particular vice or

A. 1889
excess, or has recently suffered from any important accident or illness, one of
these, right or wrong, is set down as the cause of the insanity ; and as these
histories are generally written by careless or unskilled persons, it will be easily
understood that they are, when so written, of little value. If medical men,
magistrates and others who are concerned in sending patients to the asylums,
would take more care in their enquiries as to family history, habits and character-
istics, etc., of patients, their reports would be of greater assistance to the physicians
in charge of asylums than they are now.

It will be observed from the following table that the number of patients
admitted during the past year has been greater than in any year since 1877, and
it is a fact that the year 1888 exceeds in admissions the number of any year in
the history of the Province. This is not entirely attributable to a regular ratio
of increase, but rather to the fact that in 1887 there was a want of accommoda-
tion which was supplied in 1888. Consequently a very considerable number of
patients were admitted during the latter year who would have come in in the
former if there had been accommodation for them. The number is, however,
considerably over the average of the twelve years recorded in the table, which
would be only 488.

Asylum Expenditure.
It will be observed that there has been in some instances a great apparent
increase in Asylum expenditure over that of the previous year. This is accounted
for in part by a considerable increase in the cost of supplies in 1888 as compared
with 1887, and by the failure in crops in some of the institutions. At Kingston
Asylum the farm crops fell vastly short of the previous year. At Hamilton
Asylum, as the tables shew, there has been a large increase in the population of
the institution. The same is also true of Orillia Asylum, besides which we are
now and shall be until the completion of the new buildings, practically running
two separate institutions, two and one-half miles apart, which necessitates almost
two distinct staffs of employees as well as two systems of heating and water
supply. At the new buildings, now with 200 inmates, the expenses of mainte-
nance in some of the items are nearly as large as they will be when the population
reaches the intended maximum of 500.

ASYLUM ACCOMMODATION.
During the year 1888 the insane asylum population of the Province was
increased by 183, the largest increase ever known in one year in the history of
the Province, and yet we appear to be no nearer than ever to an equilibrium
between supply and demand. In a very few weeks every bed will be full, and
the gaols, which a:e now practically empty, will begin again to till up.
The erection of new cottages has been decided upon at the Mimico farm, and
two cottages, for fifty patients each, are promised for May next, and others to
accommodate patients to the extent of three hundred more, are contracted for.
These cottages will, for a few years to come, be sufficient for the wants of the
western part of the Province, but the eastern portion is now suffering greatly for
want of sufficient accommodation.
Kingston asylum contains 535 beds. Three years ago a building, known as
Regiopolis College, wan leased bv the Department, and at a smallexpense fitted
up to accommodate, very comfortably and well, 150 patients ; but this building
could only be leased for five years, and I am given to understand that it will cer-
tainly be required by the owners, for other purposes, at the expiry of the lease, so
that it seems certain that on the 1st Sept., 1890, we shall have 150 patients without
a home, from this source alone, unless other provision is made for them. But with
this additional accommodation, Kingston asylum is full and has been for some
time, and our only means of relief is an occasional transfer of a draft of patients
to a western asylum. Thus, on the completion of the new building at Hamilton,
I relieved Kingston asylum temporarily, by a transfer of forty patients to Hamil-
ton, but the asylum was filled up immediately by patients awaiting admission.
It is now full, with at present no means of relief visible.
This practice of transferring patients from one asylum to another, for the
purpose referred to, is objectionable on another ground, besides the great expense
attending it. It is often the means of locating patients in institutions faraway
from their homes and friends, and although in the selection of patients for trans-
fer there are some whose cases are not open to this objection, there are so many
other considerations which must be observed, that it is very difficult to make a
selection of thirty or forty patients in which there are not several cases of hard-
ship of this nature.
There are two ways in which asylum accommodation for the east may be
increased. One is to enlarge the Kingston asylum by the erection supplementary
buildings ; the other, to erect a new asylum at some other convenient point.
The latter is the one that I should recommend.
The vast increase in the population of the city of Toronto, of late years, and
the consequent increase in the number of insane, has rendered the Toronto asylum
quite inadequate to the. demands upon it from the district originally assigned to
it, and I have long felt the necessity of a rearrangement as between the Toronto
and Kingston districts, but the limited accommodation at Kingston asylum has
rendered this impracticable. As a consequence, the gaols in the Toronto district,
notably that of Toronto city, have almost constantly been crowded with lunatics,
whom it has been utterly impossible to provide for. I should propose, therefore,
if adequate accommodation were provided, to assign all counties east of the county
of Ontario to the eastern district or districts, and this would leave the Toronto
district all the work which its asylum could manage. Unless something of this
kind is done, it will be quite beyond the means at present at our disposal to keep
the gaols clear of lunatics, and also provide for the other urgent cases, in respect
of which application is made under ordinary process.
I have attempted, by searching State records and by correspondence, to
4 (l.a.) 35

obtain such information as would enable me to furnish a comparison between the
numbers of the insane population of the United States and Ontario. I am sorry
to say that my success has not been equal to my desires, but such as I have is pro-
duced here, and may be taken as in some measure shewing that, as far as the figures
shew, insanity has not yet been developed in this Province in the same ratio as in
the adjoining States of the Union. I believe this difference, however, to be more
apparent than real. I am not aware that any reason exists which should give
Ontario a better showing in this respect than the neighbouring States, whose age,
nationalities, religion, climate, etc., are very nearly like our own.
I have taken sixteen of the' neighbouring States most contiguous to the
Province of Ontario. The conditions existing in these States are sufficiently like
Ontario to justify, in my opinion, a comparison.
The States of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecti-
cut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, contain, in the aggregate, an insane
population of 59,828, or 1 in 472 of the w^ole population. It is true that, in this
group of States, great differences exist as between each other. It may be said in
general terms, however, that the older the State the greater the percentage of
lunacy ; therefore in grouping those sixteen States I believe I am striking an
average which may be fairly applicable to Ontario.
The census of the United States includes all lunatics, whether in the asylums
or not. It includes all known lunatics within their borders. The census of Canada
gives us no information of value on the point. It does not distinguish between
lunatics and idiots. We can, therefore only judge Ontario by what we know, and
we only know those who are under accommodation in public institutions and
those who are applying for admission thereto. Taking then the lunatics in the
asylums and elsewhere, whom we know of, the number is 3,252. Estimating
the population of the Province to be 2,000,000. for the purposes of this com-
paiison, we show only one lunatic to every 615 of the population. To make our
average equal to that of the sixteen States, we should have 4237 lunatics in the
Province, or 985 more than we know of. It is probable that this number
would be found if an accurate census were taken.
I regret that the information at my command does not admit of a full com-
parison of what is being done for the insane in this province and all of the States
enumerated above.
Asylum Dietary.
Remarks have been made from time to time by persons not well informed
upon such subjects in disparagement of the dietary supplied to the patients in
the various asylums, and some persons are impressed with an idea that lunatics
in the common wards of the asylums are not well cared for as regards food.
I have thought this a fitting time, therefore, to shew exactly how this matter
stands.
I give herewith a table of the dietary of our five asylums, and while, it may
be said, it is not a very attractive one, I think no one can say that it does not
contain all that is necessary for good nutrition and health. An increased
supply of milk would be desirable and I would recommend that the number of
cows kept be increased.
It must be understood that the bill of fare as given for Toronto asylum
includes only the common wards. In the superior wards, as they are called, the
furnishings and food are both of better character, inasmuch as from $4 to $7 per
week is charged for patients who are accommodated in these wards.

I wish to call attention to two facts. First, that in quality the food the
patients get is unexceptional. The beef is purchased alive by a person employed
for the purpose, and killed on the premises by the asylum butcher, and I am safe
in saying that no better beef appears on any man's table than the patients get in
Ontario asylums. The bread is made from the best flour to be had, is baked on
the premises, and is always good. The butter is purchased by contract, and every
care is used to have the best quality obtainable. In fact, the best guarantee we
can have that the quality of the food is good and that the officers look well after
it, is, that they themselves have to eat of precisely the same quality, no distinction
being allowed in the quality of the meat, bread, butter, tea, coffee or any other
article of diet, common to both, between officers and patients.
The other fact to which I desire to call attention is the very low rate of
maintenance in the Ontario asylums as compared with most of the asylums in the
United States.
The following table will shew the average year's cost per patient in the
Ontario Asylums for the past five years. It will be noticed that there was con-
siderable increase in most of the asylums last year, notably Hamilton and Orillia.
This arises from a general rise in the cost of provisions, and in the two named, in
extra expenses incidental to the occupation of new buildings. In our two
principal items of food, which we purchase by contract, viz., flour and butter, the
difference is quite marked. In 18tt7 the contract price for flour per barrel, was
from $3.90 to $4.25 ; in 1SS8 the price was from $4.50 to $5.50. In 1887 the
cost of butter was per lb., from 16^ to 18 cents; in 1888 the price was from 18
to 19| cents. These two items alone represent a large sum in the yearly expendi-
ture. In groceries, difference in prices between the two years represented nearly
one dollar per patient, or something like $3,000 on the whole :

To shew how our asylum expenditure compares with that of our neighbours,
I append a list of American asylums, with their cost of maintenance, in 18S8. It
will be seen that in very few instances indeed, does the annual cost per patient
approximate in economy the figures in the Ontario asylums,
I regret that I have not at hand figures for previous years to shew fluctua-
tions in rates.

ORILLIA ASYLUM.
The completion of a part of the New Asylum at Orillia, has rendered it
possible to make a beginning in a branch of the work which the Government has
long felt to be most desirable, but which the limited capacity of the old building
rendered impossible.
There are two branches to Idiot Asylum work ; 1st, The custody simply
of adult idiots who are unable to take care of themselves and have no friends
able or willing to care for and control them ; and 2nd, The care and training
of idiotic and feeble minded children who are thus in some instances restored
to their friends not cured (for that is impossible), but greatly improved in
intelligence ami habits, and sometimes so far improved as to be able to
live as other people do, and to be little or no burden upon their friends.
In the custodial part of the work, Ontario has been the pioneer on this
continent. Not much attention has been paid to this branch of the work in the
United States. There the custody of adult idiots has been relegated generally to
the municipalities who have kept them in almshouses and kindred institutions,
while special attention has been and is being given to the gathering in of afflicted
children, and aiming at such improvement in their condition as that when they
in their turn become adults, their care will be attended with a minimum of
trouble and expense to their friends or the State.
The latter system seems to promise the best results for future genera-
tions, idiots will unhappily continue to be born, but when at the proper age
they are placed as we hope they will be, under proper training, with the dying out
of the present generation of adult idiots, the hideously distorted monster so often
seen will be no more. So much, at least, if no more, we hope to attain as one
result of the training system now established. But we do hope for very much
higher results than this, when the training system has had time to develop its
results. We find that the congenital idiot, under training, unless he is of the very
lowest type, grows up to manhood scarcely recognizable as an idiot at all, and the
child who is merely feeble-minded as it is called, instead of degenerating as he does
through neglect, into the lowest condition of idiocy, becomes often able to take
his place in the world and succeed as well as some of his neighbours.
In order that we might start our schools on the best ami most approved
lines and make as few mistakes in the beginning as possible, I addressed' the
following circular to the superintendents of institutions for idiotic and feeble-
minded in the various states.
RE EDUCATION OF THE IDIOTIC AND FEEBLE MINDED.
Dear Sir, — Wo are just now engaged in organizing our school at the Orillia Asylum and
desire as far as possible, to adopt the methods which experience has so far shewn to lie the best,
and it has been thought desirable to avail ourselves of the present plan of getting the opinions
of those who have been longer engaged in t lie work, ami who are so well able t<> speak on the
subject, so that we may avoid, as far as may be, preliminary mistakes and the possible necessity
for retracing our steps in the future.
Will you therefore kindly favor us with answers to the annexed rpiestions, expressing your
views upon the various points as fully as time and inclination dictate, and by so doin^ you will
confer a lasting obligation upon
Yours very truly,
W. T. O'Reilly,
Inspector.

I give in the following pages the replies I have received up to the time this
report was placed in the printers hands, and in the order in which they were
received.
1. How many pupils have you in training, and between what ages '?
Dr. J. Q. A. Stewart, Superintendent, Frankford, Ky. —
We have 142 children in all, 130 go to school, 60 boys learning trades'
and 30 girls learning to sew, work and iron. The remainder are too young to
work. Those in industrial departments are from 8 to 20 years of age. We
receive children from 6 up to 18, but keep them as long as we can improve them.
Dr. I. N. Kerlin, Superintendent, Elwyn, Pa. —
Of 710 children of all ages and grades, we have about 450 classified under
our school training, the ages of these being from 5 years up to 20.
Dr. A. C. Rogers, Superintendent, Farebault, Min. —
Ninety-two ; 54 males and 38 females.
Dr. S. J. Fort, Superintendent, Ellicott City, Maryland —
Twelve, between G and 30.
Dr. J. C. Carson, Superintendent, Syracuse, N.Y. —
About 300 at the present time.
Dr. G. H. Knight, Superintendent, Lakeville, Conn. —
Sixty pupils in training, between ages of 5 and 15.
Mr. J. G. Blake, Superintendent, Richmond, Indiana —
We have 200 children, between the ages of 6 and 1G.
Dr. G. A. Dor en, Superintendent, Columbus, Ohio —
Five hundred, between the ages of 6 and 18.
Dr. F. M. Powell. Superintendent, Glemvood, Iowa —
Four hundred, from 5 to 25.
Dr. G. Brown, Superintendent, Barre, Mass. —
Fifty-four, between the ages of G and 24.
Dr. W. T. Fish, Superintendent, Lincoln, III. —
Pupils in institution, 394 ; age ranges from 6 to 32 years. Average age of
inmates, 15| years.
Dr. J. T. Armstrong, Superintendent, Beatrice, Neb. —
We have 76 inmates, between ages 5 and 18.
2. How many teachers of each sex ?
Dr. Steicart.
We have five female teachers in schools and three females in industries.
Dr. Kerlin.
Our teachers are classified as follows : — Five female kindergarten teachers,
6 female primary and secondary teachers, 1 female teacher of band music and
5 female manual training teachers. These are all educated, refined women,
44
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
several of them being Normal School graduates, or of high seminary accomplish-
ments. In addition to the above female teachers we have in connection with the
school department, 1 man teaching mattrass making, 1 man teaching farming
and gardening, 1 carpenter teaching light carpentering, 2 seamstresses teaching
dress and boys' clothes making, and 1 seamstress teaching knitting.
Dr. Rogers —
Four females. The Assistant Superintendant (male) is teacher of manual
and industrial training.
Dr. Fort-
Two — both females.
Dr. Carson —
One regular male teacher and 9 females. We have besides 5 female and 1
male teacher, whom we call attendant teachers.
Dr. Knight —
Three teachers (female).
Mr. Blake—
We employ seven (7) teachers, all of whom are ladies.
Dr. Doran —
In school, female 21 ; in industrial department, male 6, female 5.
Dr. Powell —
Eleven females and 1 male.
Dr. Brown —
Six female teachers in the class rooms, 2 male instructors of manua
industries.
Dr. Fish—
Twelve teachers are employed — 10 female, 2 males.
Dr. Armstrong —
We employ 4 lady teachers.
3. Is most to be accomplished in the early stages by class or individual teaching ?
Dr. Stewart —
I have found individual training to be best until the child is sufficiently
advanced to classify him.
Dr. Kerlin —
Much of the training of feeble-minded children must of necessity be " indi-
vidual training," but this is better performed by keeping the children in group
relation. As a rule the attempts at home or individual training are sorry in their
results. The feeble-minded child is usually an egotist, whose egotism is only
increased by constant individualizing. There is no call for this new-fangled term
" individual teaching."
45
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
Dr. Rogers —
It depends upon the case and the teacher must judge. Generally speaking
there must be a combination of both methods.
Dr. Fort—
In our experience small classes furnish best results.
Dr. Carson —
My answer to this will depend in a measure upon what is meant " in the
early stages." My impression is that for children under five to six years of age,
that as a rule individual teaching would be preferable, but for those over the age
of six or seven years the majority will be benefitted more under class instruction.
Dr. Knight —
At first individual training, but get them into classes as soon as possible.
Mr. Blake —
Individual training to start with is more preferable and can also be used in
class training to advantage.
Dr. Dor en —
Individual teaching.
Dr. Powell—
The higher course by class training, the lower by individual training.
Dr. Breton —
Individual teaching usually precedes the class, but it is an advantage to have
the class present, as thus a stimulus is imparted to the pupil, he would lack
if alone.
Dr. Fish—
In my opinion, in the early stages of the work, most is accomplished by class
teaching. Individual teachings may be required in some special cases.
Dr. .Armstrong —
Individual work is almost a necessity in the beginning.
4. When classes are formed what number of pupils should be assigned to each class or
teacher ?
Dr. Steivart —
' We have all grades of children in every school room, but send them from one
teacher to another to recite, so that in our school we sometimes have classes
numbering as many as twenty, notably in articulation. Twenty-five is as many
as I allow in any school room.
Dr. Kerlin —
Classes are of various sizes, say from 5 children to a maximum of 30.
Dr. Rogers —
Practically from force of circumstances we assign about 25 pupils to a teacher.
The theoretical rule should be only enough so the teacher could give each child
46
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1880
as much attention as would be profitable to it. There is such a thing as giving
too much attention as well as a danger of neglect. The proper means can be
determined only by the teacher.
Dr. Fort —
Where it is possible, we think this division or classification according to
number advisable : —
Ages 3 to 7 — 10 children to each teacher.
" 7 to 12—15
" 12 to ..—20 to 30 "
Dr. Carson —
For the lower grades I would say not more than ten ; for those of a medium
gral<' not more that twenty, and for those of the highest grade not more than
thirty. I must, however, qualify this answer with the remark that it depends
somewhat upon the nature of the instruction undertaken in the class room. At
some exercises a larger number can be instructed without difficulty, while, again,
at others the number in the class should be less.
Dr. Knight —
About 20 in a form, 3-8 in a class.
Mr. Blake —
In forming classes the better grades should not exceed twenty-five in
number, while the lower or custodial grades should not exceed twelve to fourteen.
Dr. Duren —
Not over twenty in any case.
Dr. Powell —
Fifteen to twenty-four.
Dr. Brown —
We have found six to eight sufficient.
Dr. Fish—
Twenty pupils, I should regard, as the average number that a teacher could
do justice to. Some teachers have ability to train larger classes. Some grades
require more of a teacher's time than others. Owing to overcrowding, our classes
as a rule contain twenty-five children.
Dr. Armstrong —
Depends upon grades. I think twenty is all one teacher should ordinarily
have. Some grades they show have less, and in some might teach more.
5. What, in your opinion, is the value of the Kindergarten System in this connection ? Do
you coosider it the best /
Dr. Stezvart —
Kindergarten, to a limited extent only, can be successfully taught our children,
even the best of them. I do not consider it best for those old enough to work.
Dr. Kerlin —
Long before the word " Kindergarten" had become Americanized, and pro-
bably before the days of Froebel himself, its ideas were discussed and its principles
47
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). . A. 1889
applied, to idiots and imbeciles, by Seguin at the Bicetre. I have no hesitation
in saying that Kindergarten teachers are especially and admirably furnished for
the training of these children in all grades and ages.
Dr. Rogers —
I consider the Kindergarten System important in its place, which is with
small children of the brightest classes. It lays the foundation of manual and
industrial training later.
Dr. Fort—
Providing all teachers professing to be Kindergartners are the genuine article,
and employed among such children, we consider the Kindergarten System not
only the best, but absolutely the only true system.
As for Kindergartners, the greatest care should be exercised in employing
such persons ; a poor Kindergartner is worse than any kind of teacher, and can
do incalculable injury to the little ones confided to her charge.
There are many so-called training classes which annually turn out young
women as Kindergartners who have no more of an idea of Froebel's system than
that it is a little more refined duty than ordinary school teaching. The true
Kindergartner is the highest type of womanhood, endowed with a system as
simple as it is good, whose whole nature is sympathetic, who c;m reach all her
children's hearts, for it is by love and sympathy these children can best be trained
Dr. Carson —
We have not adopted the Kindergarten system exclusively here. We use it
to some extent, and consider it valuable, but there is much of the system, as I
have seen it, that, in my judgment, would not be of very great utility. The com-
bined sj'stem including the Kindergarten, object teaching, ordinary school exer-
cises, industrial classes and physical training we consider the best.
Dr. Knight —
I consider the Kindergarten System the best with my children.
Mr. Beake —
We consider the Kindergarten System as undoubtedly the best for the
younger children, while it can be introduced in the higher grades with great
profit.
Dr. Doren —
(a) Very valuable. (6) It cannot be used as in ordinary schools. It must
be adapted to this class of children.
Dr. Powell —
We do not think best to strictly follow the Kindergarten system, but draw
upon their methods.
Dr. Brown —
The Kindergarten System, like all other methods, must be modified to suit
the feeble-minded. Not always the best.
Dr. Fish —
The Kingergarten System of Training, with modifications, I regard as very
valuable for our children,
We take from the Kindergarten System what we consider best adapted to
our pupils.
48
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
Dr. Armstronq —
Consider the Kindergarten System of great value. We have only been able
to use it in connection with other work, not being able to put a sufficient number
of a suitable grade together to follow Kindergartening exclusively with advan-
tage. We have used part of the system in all of our school rooms. Think a
regular Kindergarten class could be formed in a larger institution with advantage.
6. Do you consider it essential that tho;e employed should be Certificated Teachers ? What
is your experience in results as between those previously trained in teaching and those who have
come to you untrained ?
Dr. Stewart —
I do not consider it essential that those employed as teachers, other things
being equal, should be certificated. I would rather train a well educated, bright
woman myself, than to have her come from ordinary schools. The right kind of
a teacher from our kind of schools would not be objectionable.
Dr. Kerlin —
Trained teachers most frequently reach success in our schools, but this does
not bar a woman of good natural ability, of sound judgment and warm heart,
from ranking among our most successful.
Dr. Rogers —
(a) No. The training and culture which would lead to securing a certificate
are important and desirable but love for and tact with children, self-possesion,
energy and patience are the most important qualifications. (6) The teacher's
service increases in value by experience.
Dr. Fort —
Regarding ordinary teachers, as the state systems of education are widely
different, we do not consider certificates as of much value ; ^-daptibility to one
work, with a good education, and a mind unbiased by the routine systems of our
public schools will turn out the very best teachers, for the older and more
advanced classes.
Dr. Carson —
Teachers for this work should be persons of character, intelligence and
refinement. It is necessary for some of the number to have musical qualifications.
What is most required, are qualities of the heart and disposition : without them
a certificate of scholarship would count with us for very little.
Since I became the Superintendent of this institution four years ao-o, all of
the new teachers that have been engaged were untrained, and I have really had
no experience in introducing trained teachers. For a new school just organized,
it seems to me it might be of advantage to secure a few trained teachers from
different institutions.
Dr. Kn ight —
No certificated teachers for me. I prefer to train my own. Have always
found the untrained ones the best. The methods of the others are to much to
overcome.
Mr. Blake —
Mot necessarily certified teachers unless young, as teachers who have long
taught in public schools are apt to introduce their methods of teachinc All
49
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
teachers should be competent to teach. We find better results, by far, from the
untrained, as it is very hard to change them.
Br. Doren —
(a) No. But must be thoroughly educated and practical, (b) Our experi-
ence has been more satisfactory with these who have come to us untrained.
Br. Powell —
No. Better results from trained teachers. It is through the physical training
that mental training is accomplished (principally).
Br. Brown —
We have had no experience with a teacher wholly untrained, but do not
think it essential that the teacher should always possess a certificate, as like the
poet a teacher nascitur, non fit.
Br. Fish—
I do not consider it absolutely essential that certificated teachers should be
employed. I have promoted attendants of good education who have shown more
than ordinary tact and ability in their management of children in their charge,
and have been better satisfied with their work as teachers than others who held
certificates and had graduated at normal schools. Teachers in the common
schools, who have shown marked ability in training children of the primary
grade would possess qualification for institution work.
Br. Armstrong —
(6) I do not think certified teachers essential. In the selection of teachers I
should be guided more by the general capabilities of the person than technical
education." Experience in teaching is of undoubted advantage to persons with
tact. My experience with untrained teachers has been favorable, but those with
experience grasp the situation more quickly.
7. What should be the main and ultimate object in instructing Idiots apart from the
physical benefits to be derived from a systematic course of training?
Br. J. Q. A. Stewart, Frankfort, Ky. —
To teach them to work at some trade suited to their capacity. Most of them
under proper supervision can be made to contribute largely to their support.
Br. Kerlin —
The first object in instructing an idiot or feeble-minded person is to take
care of himself.
Second object — To take care of others of his kind, under Institution guar-
dianship ; filling humble positions in the domestic department, in the garden,
or on the farm ; in the workshops, laundry, etc., attached to the Institution, so as
to greatly reduce the per capita cost of his own permanent custody, and that of
his unfortunate fellows.
Third object — When return to his family is possible, to so improve the boy
that he will neither be obnoxious nor obstrusive, but quiet and modest in the
midst of the home circle.
Fourth object — A small percentage, say ten per cent., may be educated with
the view of going out into the world to do humble service in domestic or
mechanical life.
50
52 Victoria Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
I will close these hasty remarks by adding that teachers, school rooms, school
apparatus, and the entire school system are valuable only as they are tributary
to making the child useful with his own hands and senses in or about the Insti-
tution, or at his own home, should he be returned to it ; hence manual occupation
should be associated constantly with school training.
Dr. Rogers —
Self-support and happiness
Dr. Fort —
Elevating each grade to a higher, and if possible fitting them for self-
support.
Dr Carson —
To make them useful and helpful in the care of themselves and others, or
for some industrial employment after the school age is passed.
Dr. Knight —
They should be taught to do something.
Mr. Blake —
There is very little to be derived outside of teaching chem habits of cleanli-
ness and obedience, with enough light physical exercise to develope the body.
Dr. Doren —
Industrial.
Dr. Powell —
We are of opinion that the object should be to prepare them for useful labor
in the direction of self-support.
Dr. Brown —
The uplifting of humanity, however low down in the scale.
Dr. Fish—
This question is I think answered by a clause in the Act of the Illinois
Legislature of 1875, Regulating the State Charitable Institution ; referring to
the object of this Institution it reads: " To fit its inmates as far as possible for
earning their own livelihood, and for future usefulness in society." I am a firm
believer in school training for this class of defectives, but, I consider it of the
utmost importance that the work of the schools should be supplemented by
industrial training.
I do not think we are doing our whole duty, unless we train our inmates
in some useful work. A large proportion of the inmates of our Institution came
from families in straitened circumstances and are unable to assist their children
to any great extent after they leave us. Our inmates are happier and better in
every way when usef ully employed and when they realize that they are learning
some occupation which will help them to gain a livelihood.
Dr. Armstrong —
Some useful occupation, with such primary education as each is capable of
receiving. •

During the past summer we had the pleasure of receiving as guests of the
Province the members of the Association of Superintendents of Institutions for
feeble-minded children of the United States, which body held its annual meeting
for 1888 at Orillia. There was a large number of superintendents present at the
meeting, and all were enthusiastic in their praises of the site of the new Institu-
tion at Orillia, and of the buildings, so far as they have been completed. The
whole institution was thoroughly inspected by the members and our methods
fully discussed ; and we were favoured with much commendation, which, coming
from gentlemen of so much experience in the work, was exceedingly gratifying.
We shall hope that when the buildings are fully completed at Orillia, and all in
working order, we may be able to induce the Association to pay us another
visit.
THE HOMEWOOD RETREAT.
It will be seen from the figures supplied by the Medical Superintendent of
this Institution, that it has been doing good and useful work during the year,
although the population of " The Retreat " has not increased at all as rapidly as
the proprietors expected. The total number of patients in residence on the 30th
September, 1888, was 21, precisely the same as at the end of the preceding year.
The movement of patients in the Institution during the year is shown in the
table on page .'>4.
The proportion of patients discharged, is very large indeed, and upon the
whole the treatment appears to have been very successful.
Of the Inebriates discharged, the Superintendent is unable to state the
percentage of those absolutely cured, it being impossible to pronounce posi-
tively as to the result until the patient has gone through a prolonged probation
out of the Retreat, but satisfactory evidence has been received that some of the
Inebriates who have been under treatment are now leading regular and useful
lives and successfully following their several avocations.
Under the heading of Inebriates is included the victims of the use of Opium,
Morphine and Chloral. Two of these unfortunates were returned to their homes
absolutely recovered and wholly freed from their slavery to this baneful drug.
It is to be regretted that at present the Insane and the Inebriates are obliged
to occupy the same building.
It was hoped that long ere this a separate building would have been erected
for the accommodation of the Inebriates, and it is still the intention to separate
these two classes of patients as soon as it is found that the resources of the
proprietors will warrant their incurring the heavy outlay necessary for this
purpose. During the past summer it has been decided not to receive any more
female Inebriates into the " Retreat," until separate accommodation is provided
for them.
The number of insane persons seeking admission to the Retreat is much less
than the proprietors expected. The explanation of this appears to be that so
many of the patients who would otherwise have gone to the Retreat are
admitted into the " Superior Wards " which the Government has provided in the
Toronto Asylum.
The health of the patients in the Retreat has been exceptionally good, while
Diphtheria, Typhoid Fever and other contagious diseases have prevailed in the
neighborhood, there has not been the slightest symptom of anything of the kind
in the Retreat and there has not been a single death from any cause to record.
This seems to establish the superior sanitary condition of the institution.
52
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
The Retreat has been regularly inspected by the Board of Visitors, frequently
by myself, as also by the President, Vice-President and other Directors of the
Association.
The report of Dr. Lett the Medical Superintendent, which is printed in the
appendix is exceptionally worthy of notice at this time when the question of the
establishment of an Inebriate Hospital or Asylum is on the minds of so many
people, and I recommend its perusal by all those feeling an interest in the subject.
Dr. Lett is the man in this Province, who, if experience is worth anything is
entitled to speak. He has not yet found the royal drug which is warranted to
cure the drunkard.
After all is said, it comes, I think, to this : If drunkenness is to be eradicated,
one of the two things must be done ; alcohol must be kept away from the people,
or the people from the alcohol. Private Asylums for the isolation of the few
who can pay arc very well. Such as go there will get sober for once in a way,
and occasionally one will be rescued. But it seems to me doubtful wisdom to seek
to enlist public sympathy and public money in an endeavour to cure such
people by the erection of Public Hospitals, while, for every hospital which
can be erected, there are a hundred licensed houses whose business and interest
it is to qualify patients fur the institution.
To make an Inebriate Asylum anything more than a sobering up establish-
ment, the conductors of it should be clothed with authority to detain and control
an inebriate for an indefinite length of time, months or years, if necessaiy. The
same policy in respect to his personal liberty should prevail, as now pic vails in
respect of a lunatic. When he cannot control himself and live in harmony with
his surroundings. When his manner of life becomes a menace to the safety and
well-being of his wife, children, parents, neighbours, or society at large, then
the control of himself and property should be in the hands of proper officers.
He must be regarded as a sick man who requires this care. Until public opinion
is educated up to this point, there is not much hope of success in the direction
aimed at b)r the promoters of Inebriate Asylum schemes.

THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MEDICAL SUPERINTENDENT OF THE
ASYLUM FOR THE INSANE, TORONTO, ENDING SEPT. 30th, 1888.
To the Inspector of Prisons and Public Charities : —
Sir, — As required by statute, I herewith report to you the annual operations of this
Asylum, ending Sept. 30th, 1888.
I beg to make a few statements as to the movements of our insane population
during the time specified. These are more fully detailed in the annexed tables.
The total number under treatment during the year was 870.
The number of admissions for the same period was 165. Of these patients, sixty-
nine were admitted from the gaols and ninety-six were admitted under ordinary process.
There were in residence 697 at the end of the reportorial year.
Forty-two patients were transferred to other Asylums in the Province. Of these,,
twenty were men and twenty-two were women. One effected a successful elopement.
One was not insane.
The recoveries were fifty-seven. This would make a percentage of 35.62 on the
admissions of the year. This is a good deal lower proportion than last year, which
was nearly fifty per cent. The class of patients who were received during the past year
could scarcely be called promising or hopeful. A large number was found to be past the
state of curability, such as those who had been insane for many years and might be
classed among the chronics ; those who had epilepsy, conjoined with insanity ; those who
were not only insane but were also paralyzed and should not have been granted admission ;
and those who were harmless and childish and could have been kept at home by friends.
Out of these classes of defectives, which composed the larger number of our admissions,
a ratio of recoveries to the extent of thirty-four per cent, is a reasonable average. An
endeavour has been made by me to fill all vacancies which might occur with hopeful,
acute and curable cases, to whom medical treatment must of necessity be of paramount
importance. This laudable attempt has been a partial failure, for by some means the
hopeless and helpless, the quiet and harmless, have largely taken the places which should
have been occupied by the curable and recent cases. It is to be hoped that in this respect
there is a good time coming. It is worthy of note in this connection that a large number
of our admissions during the year consisted of patients who are foreign born and many
of them recently imported. Their number is out of all proportion to the native born,
and there is a strong suspicion in my mind that Canada is becoming a " dumping-ground "
for the defective classes of the fatherland. An enquiry in this direction of an official
nature would doubtless be of service to the country. For example, it is found that out
of the 165 patients of last year's admission, ninety-two were of foreign birth and only
seventy-three of Canadian birth. It is safe to say that the next census of 1891 will show
a very large preponderance of native population over that of immigrants. That is true
of our present population, and yet the admissions of patients last year show a proportion
of those born out of Canada to largely exceed that of Canadian nativity. At least nine-
tenths of the former come from the British Isles. From personal enquiry it is found
that a large number were in British and Irish asylums before coming to Canada. Such
persons may have reached our shores of their own accord, and for this influx no '' Old
Country " organization may be responsible, yet it is evident that such a class is not
coveted by this Province, nor will the progeny of many of these patients make, level-
headed citizens. This is a matter of past experience.
Our deaths were forty-five. This number, out of a population of 870, would be a
death-rate of a little over five per cent. As might be expected, the death-rate must
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
largely fluctuate from year to year. The old adage holds true in asylums as elsewhere,
" the young may die, the old must die." In looking over the tables it will be seen that
some were in a dying condition upon admission, and should have been allowed to die in
peace and comfort at home and among friends. This thrusting-out of the dying lunatics
from their well known habitations may not be always blameworthy nor intended to be
unkind to these unfortunates ; yet, second thought should teach that home nursing is best
under these conditions of approaching death. The reception into an asylum of the mori-
bund, the paralytics, the aged with senile decay, and the epileptic, must mean a large
death-rate and of necessity a smaller number of recoveries thau would be the case under
more favourable conditions. The average death-rate in asylums is seven per cent., and
the average l'ecoveries are from thirty to forty per cent., so we have little to complain of
in these two respects. This is matter for congratulation, seeing we cleave to well tried
methods of treatment and are slow to adopt every "fad" which any wise-acres may
magnify into a panacea for " all the ills which tlesh is heir to."
We unfortunately had one suicide, on Aug. 4th. A very aged patient, of the name
of Johh Haight, who had been in this asylum for over thirty years, and resided in one of
our cottages, got hold of some blunt instrument (which has never been seen since), and
inflicted such injury to both sides of his neck as caused his death in two days after the
wounds had been inflicted. He was about to be transferred to Hamilton Asylum along
with other patients, and it seems the idea of leaving this asylum, where he had resided
so long, induced an attack of suicidal mania. An inquest was held, but no blame was
attached to any one.
Improvements.
The structural improvements during the year have been numerous.
1st. The new kitchen and bakery. We do not now have the odours of cooking food
permeating every part of the asylum long before the hours for meals. These buildings
are above ground and much healthier for those employed in them.
2nd. The new brick connections of three storys in height, between the wings and
main building, to replace a wooden rookery of one story which was rotting down, are a
great boon in many ways, and are substantially built of brick and stone.
3rd. A new entrance into the main building on the first landing. The outside
stairway is built of brick and stone, and adds very much to the appearance' of the
building, which was formerly as bare of anything ornate as is the side of an Egyptian
pyramid.
4th. Wrought iron fire escapes with ladders. These are erected on the main build-
ing and on two of the cottages. Their erection has given to us an additional sense of
security in the event of fire.
Curtailment.
As soon as it was determined to sell part of our grounds for building purposes, we
set to work to build new walls on our own boundaries out of the old material. Patients'
labour was utilized as much as possible. The erection is now going on, and we hope to
have it finished before wintry weather sets in. By this invasion we lose about twenty-
four acres out of fifty acres. The boundary on the west is a continuation of Dovercourt
street, and on the east a continuation of Shaw street to King street. The twenty-six
acres left to us will leave our village " cribbed and cabinned " to some extent, but we
must bow to the inevitable.
Mimico Farm.
We took possession of this farm in the spring and at once commenced farming it. It
was found in bad order, but with the labour of patients and constant plodding, a goodly
quantity of hay, oats and potatoes was taken from it, in spite of pertinacious weeds,
4
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
Canada thistles and a dry season. Next year there doubtless will be better results if we
can shelter working patients on or near the farm. We found it very difficult to send out
patients live miles, return them at night, and do much work with them in the middle of
the day. To succeed, the workmen must live near their work.
Exchange.
The exchange of part of the Mimico Farm for land near the lake was a good move.
On this land the new cottages for patients are to be erected. The proximity to the lake
for drainage purposes, and the possibility of striking all the water needed at the cottages,
are two advantages worth very much in a sanitary point of view. Had the cottages been
built on the old farm, at least one mile and a-half from the lake, the cost of drainage
through the rock which crops up near the surface at that point, would have been very
great, not to speak of the cost of pumping-house and steam engines which would have to be
erected and maintained at the lake. The land is excellent in quality ; it has a southern
aspect, extends to a shingle beach, and is well elevated above the lake. A local railway
station can be located within half a mile of it.
Flov:er Mission.
The gratitude of the patients has been expressed in many ways for the exceptional
kindness of '' The Toronto Flower Mission " members. It might seem invidious were we
to mention the more active members, whose faces are well known to our patients and
who always receive kindly greetings from even the most excited. The Mission visited
the Asylum 39 times during the year and distributed 1,797 bouquets, with texts of
Scripture attached to each, among the patients. There have been distributed in the
Asylum since the commencement of visits on 26th of February, 1884, 5,804 bouquets. A
simple statement of this work shows kind remembrances of those who thus minister to
the pleasure and profit of our patients.
Amusements.
m
We continue in winter our short weekly dances and sleigh rides. In summer we
have the usual picnic, visit to the Exhibition, and band concert. Words would fail us
to convey our thanks to our many kind friends in the city who unweariedly from year to
year give us varied and excellent entertainments. The lengthy record speaks for itself :

Wants.
1st. The verandahs need rtpairing. The woodwork is rotten in many parts. This
might be expected after being exposed to the weather for a period of more than forty
years on the main building and over a quarter of a century on the wings. The proposal
made last year to put glass sash on all the verandahs would contribute very much to
their usefulness, and prevent patients being gazed at by strangers when taking exercise
in those enclosures.
2nd. On account of so many other calls upon our time, a new ice house was not
built last year. It is greatly needed.
3rd. A good deal of new flooring will be needed to replace that which is worn out.
4th. In spite of the expensive and extensive repairs made on our roofs two years
ago, tubs and buckets are still needed in the upper wards to catch the rain as it pours
through during every storm. In many places a new roof is needed. Patching has been
a failure.
Asylum Districts.
A number of years ago the Province was divided into Asylum Districts in each of which
was located one of our four Asylums. It was expected that each Asylum would take
oare of all the insane committed in its own district. Although this plan has never been
strictly carried out, yet it is supposed to be the rule. At the time of the division the
Asylums of London, Hamilton and Kingston were comparatively smaller than was that
of Toronto, and a division was made on that basis. Since that time London Asylum has
become much larger than Toronto Asylum. The same may now be said of Hamilton
Asylum. Kingston Asylum is nearly equal to this in accommodation. Notwithstanding
the respective increase in each of these Asylums in respect to room, no change has been
made in the boundaries of these districts to correspond to this new condition. As a
6
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
consequence, we are urged to take patients from districts which should be apportioned
to these larger Institutions. It is lost sight of that Toronto Asylum takes pay patients
from all parts of the Province and to some extent relieves the outlying districts. This
Asylum has on an average nearly 220 patients of this class. This leaves us only 477 beds
for free patients and is virtually a small free Asylum for our large district. I have esti-
mated the population in these four divisions by the census of 1881, as being the only
reliable estimate at hand. To the sum total belonging to the Toronto Asylum district
might be added 60,000 to the population of this city, which at that time was computed
to have only a population of 86,415. There would be few comparative changes in other
respects. The following are the returns :
London Asylum District 555,890
Toronto " " 599,033
Hamilton " " 437,061
Kingston " " 391,244
Population of Province 1,983,228
Private Patients.
The sum received last year for maintenance of private patients was in round num
bers $32,000. This year it has reached nearly $40,000.
It is a matter for thankfulness that the year has passed with comparative success in
our work. The hearty co-operation of officers and employees is worthy of more than a
passing notice. My best endeavour would be largely paralyzed were it not that con-
scientious workers heartily second my efforts to maintain the efficiency of every depart-
ment in this great organization.
I have the honor to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
DANIEL CLARK,
Medical Superintendent.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MEDICAL SUPERINTENDENT OF THE
ASYLUM FOR THE INSANE, LONDON.
October 1st, 1888.
To the Inspector of Prisons and Public Charities, Ontario :
Sir, — I have the honour to transmit to you herewith the Seventeenth Annual
Report of this Asylum.
There were in residence at this Asylum on the first day of October, 1887, 917
patients, of whom 461 were men and 456 women. In the course of the twelve months
that have since elapsed there have been admitted into the Asylum 117 patients, of whom
61 were men and 56 were women, making the total number of patients under treatment
during the year 1,034 — 522 men and 512 women.
Of these patients 40 have been discharged — 23 men and 17 women ; 39 have died —
22 men and 17 women; 41 have been transferred to other Asylums— 20 men and 21
women ; one man has been written off eloped ; leaving in residence at present 913 patients
— 456 men and 457 women.
Of the 40 patients discharged, 21 — 12 men and 9 women — were discharged recovered ;
15 — 8 men and 7 women — were discharged improved ; and 4 — 3 men and 1 woman — were
discharged unimproved.
The number of patients discharged recovered and improved was 36, or 30.77 per cent,
of the admissions. The recovery rate is low because a large number of the admissions
were made at the very end of the year, after transferring on the third of August 40
patients to Hamilton Asylum.
The average recovery rate since the opening of the Asylum down to date, including
those discharged improved, has been 41.62.
The total number of patients under treatment during the year was 1,034, and the
number of deaths 39 ; so that the death-rate was 3.77. The deaths were all from natural
and unpreventable causes, there being no deaths during the year from either homicide,
suicide or accident.
The average death rate since the opening of the Asylum has been 4.77.
Fire.
As I sat in my office about 9 a.m., 2nd December, 1887, Annie Fuke, a laundry
maid, opened the office door and called out, " The Asylum is all on fire !" then ran away
as fast as she could. I stepped out and found the fire was in the laundry upstairs.
Immense volumes of smoke were rolling out of this part of the building through the
windows and under the eaves, and here and there tongues of flame shot out. My first
feeling was astonishment that the fire should have made such headway in an occupied
part of the building without being sooner discovered. A northerly wind drove the smoke
toward the main Asylum, filling all the yard from centre building to west boiler house.
For a short time I thought the main building in great danger. I sent orders at once to
remove the patients (both sides) to the C. D. halls where they would be safe in
any event. Sent a message to yourself and to London fire brigade. Meanwhile the
engineer was preparing to throw water on the fire from the west boiler house, and Dr.
Robinson was already inside the burning laundry with a chemical engine ; the latter would
undoubtedly, have done good work upon the fire but almost as soon as he began to play
upon it the hose burst. He got the second chemical engine from the amusement room
flat, the hose of that after being used a short time broke in two places.
I ascertained as soon as possible that no patient or other person was in danger of
being burned. A woman (patient) was missing, and for a short time she was thought to
be in the burning laundry, but it was soon found that she was safe. The engineer be^an
throwing water a few minutes after 9 o'clock, and was gradually mastering the fire
when about 9.30 the city firemen arrived and helped us until the fire was got well under
about noon.
25
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
Very soon after 9 o'clock, not feeling sure that the main building could be saved by-
direct action upon the fire I set a number of men, including the carpenters, to work to
break the connection between the main building and the rear extension by tearing the
roof and ceiling off the rear passage way.
The Asylum employees worked admirably at the fire, engineers, carpenters, the
butcher, baker, attendants and others, all without exception did their best. Every one
was cool and collected, and the work of fighting the fire and taking precautionary
measures went on almost as quietly as our every day routine of duty.
When the alarm was given Dr. Beemer was in his office at the north building ; he
at once sent for Mr. Flynn (his chief attendant), told him to put each ward of the north
building in charge of one attendant and take the rest of his attendants down to the fire.
Dr. Beemer then came down at once himself and reported to me ; he rendered good
service conveying orders and seeing them carried out. Dr. Forster was also on the
ground from the first and made himself very useful.
Origin of the Fin*.
The fire started in the drying-room and must have been smoldering a long time,
perhaps all night. The carpenter was in the drying-room that morniug at forty minutes
after eight. While there he pulled out five or six horses of the drier. At fifty minutes
after eight he left the laundry and went to the carpenter shop. Up to that time no one
had seen any sign of fire, but a few minutes before nine Annie Fuke opened the door
between the room in the laundry in which she was working and the drying-room, and
the latter was then almost full of smoke and fire. About the same time (a very few
minutes before nine or nine o'clock) the Asylum farmer looking from the north saw flame
issuing from the north-east corner of the laundry building, just under the roof. The pre-
sumption is that a mass of inflammable material (perhaps cotton clothing) had been
smoldering in the drying room perhaps all night, and that when the carpenter pulled out
the horses at 8.45 or 8.50, he by so doing let in air, and immediately thereafter the slowly
burning mass burst into flame.
Reco nstruction.
We at once went to work and constructed a new laundry, using the engineer's
shop and the end of a coal shed for the purpose— joining these by a broad passage way.
Our new laundry is now more commodious and convenient than that which was burned,
and in case of another fire in the drying-room no harm can come to any part of the
Asylum except the laundry itself.
The burned building is in process of being rebuilt by the Public WTorks Depart-
ment. The new structure will be somewhat larger than the old which was burned.
The ground floor will be divided into kitchen, pantries and work-rooms, the first floor
will be an amusement hall — an improvement that has been greatly needed for some
years back, as the old amusement hall has become altogether too small for our greatly
increased number of patients, besides being difficult of access and impossible of egress
in case of fire.
Besides replacing the burned building, the Public Works Department is putting in
a system of fire protection — of this I shall write more at length next year.
Repairs, Reneicals, etc., of the year.
Over and above the infinitesimal number of every day small repairs and renewals,
we have done the undermentioned work during the year :
1. In my last year's report I mentioned that we were then in the act of renewing
the basement floor of the north building. We finished that job in November.
2. Where the steam pipes were taken from around the walls in the dormitories of
the men's wing of the main Asylum, we bricked up the recess in the wall and put on two
thousand three hundred feet of base,
26
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
3. We laid ten thousand feet of flooring in the main Asylum.
4. After the fire, besides the work that was done by men specially employed, the
Asylum mechanics did many weeks' work clearing away the rubbish, flooring and fitting
up the new laundry and arranging a temporary kitchen.
5. We fitted up part of the old burned laundry for an engineer's shop.
6. Built a small addition to Bursar's house.
7. Made two large cupboards, fitted with pigeon holes for papers, for Bursar's
office.
8. Put in new sewer to east and north cottages (the old one was stopped up), ran
the new one in a straight line to its outlet, thus getting a better fall.
9. Carted away the terrace from front and ends of north building, and used the
rarth to raise the main avenue leading to Asylum up to the level of the railway (O.P.R.)
which crosses it.
10. Pointed up newly exposed stonework, i.e., the foundation walls of north building
exposed, by removing earth, as mentioned in preceding paragraph.
11. We have taken down and remade over 600 yards of new ceilings.
12. Made an additional book-case for patients' library.
13. Also an additional book-case for Asylum Psycological library in Medical Super-
intendent's office.
14. Made two large desks for the Asylum registers, etc., for Physicians' office,
main asylum.
15. Built new steps at front door of north building, the old were rotten and too
short anyway, after the terrace was taken away.
16. Made a wardrobe for north building.
17. Built a large refrigerator for north building.
18. Fitted up east and west cottages with pipes and radiators.
19. Fitted up a drinking fountain at the door of the amusement room.
20. Took out, completely refitted, and again set up the main pump of the Asylum,
which gave out last March.
21. Reconstructed, refloored with cement, and refitted the closets and washrooms in
1, 2, 3, 4, CD.
22. Dug up and relaid gas main to Medical Superintendent's house. The old one
had rusted through and was leaking.
23. Repaired and fitted up a chemical engine, broken at the time of the fire.
24. Took the old fountain from the cottage grounds, where it was never seen, and
set it up in front of the north building and rearranged the grounds about it.
25. Refitted east cottage sink with new pipes and ventilator.
"26. Carried steam from east boiler house to kitchen and laundry so as to use steam
from there while rebricking laundry boilers and while new kitchen being built.
27. We have overhauled our fire apparatus and put it into as good order as possible,
but the hose and chemicals (for chemical engines) asked for 3rd May last have never been
allowed. When the new water pipes, for fire purposes, are down (they are now being
laid) and we are provided with hose for them, we shall be in a better position than ever
before to fight a fire should we have the misfortune to have another.
28. We refitted, plastered and painted the office in the store.
29. Refloored with concrete and refitted dairy.
30. Made cupboards for plasterers', painters' and butcher's shops.

32. Repaired, lowered and straightened 1,200 other feet of the same fence.
33. Put up 550 feet of new fence along west side of the garden.
34. Reshingled Asylum house opposite front gate.
35. Built coal sheds at front and side lodges, at farmer's house and in rear of main
Asylum.
36. Refloored the root-house with cedar block pavement — the old floor had rotted
out.
37. Made eight tables for east cottage.
38. Raised the floor of the west cottage and put new joists under it ; the old joists
had rotted away and the floor had sunk.
J Iterations and Renewals recommended.
1. If an addition large enough for a kitchen below and storeroom above, which
would cost less than five hundred dollars were made to the north cottage, we could
accommodate in that cottage twelve additional patients, and at the same time get rid of
the heat and steam from the kitchen range which at present make the cottage uncom-
fortable in hot weather.
2. For the sake of economy as well as comfort the Medical Superintendent's house
should be heated with hot water.
3. We have rearranged the steam heating of the west wing of the main Asylum,
and during the coming year we hope to be allowed material for the east wing.
4. A coal shed similar in all respects to those at the north and east cottage has
long been promised and is urgently needed at the west cottage.
Disuse of Restraint.
Under this head there is nothing new to say ; you will please consider that what
was written in my last annual report is repeated here ; it is still true.
Employment of Patients.
At the close of an excellent paper on this subject, Dr. Horace Wardner, of the
Anna Asylum, Illinois, sums up as follows :
1. " Occupation is one of the best therapeutic agents in the treatment of insanity
especially during convalescence.
2. " It is of the greatest value in diverting the chronic insane from their fixed
delusions, and turning their thoughts into healthier channels.
3. " It is the treatment most favorable to a readjustment and equilibrium of
m#sntal forces, from the wreck of acute mania, in which the mind is only partially,
destroyed.
4. " It is applicable to the treatment of nearly all cases of insanity, but its use
requires good judgment, more especially in the acute forms of mania.
5. " It should be considered an essential element in the organisation and adminis-
ration of hospitals for the insane."
For the last few years with an average resident population of nearly 900 patients,
I have had more than 800 employed each working day at some kind of useful labor,
and I am able to endorse fully the above conclusions. I believe that some regular and
suitable occupation (adapted to the mental and physical condition of the patient) is the
best of all therapeutic agents at our command in the treatment of insanity. Amuse
28
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
ment is valuable. Feeding (upon which Clouston insists so continually) is very valuable.
So called "medical treatment" by drugs has a certain value in some cases (though*
after an examination of all the asylums in the civilized world Dr. Tucker concludes —
see "Lunacy in Many Lands," p. 15G2 — that "the proportion of recoveries is not
altered by it ") ; but undoubtedly occupation adapted to the habits and condition of the
patient is the most valuable of all curative agents.
Amusements during the year.
The yearly supply of amusements in an institution of this kind is as important and
needs as close looking after as any other part of the management. It is a great gratifi-
cation to me to be able to say that the new hall now in process of building will enable
me to supply more and better amusements than ever before, and a larger number of the
patients will be able to participate in them. On this subject I shall be in a better
position to speak next year than this. During the year just closed we have had fully
the old supply of amusements, and in certain directions we have done better than ever
before. We have had, as usual, cards, draughts, dominoes, chess, bagatelle, billiards,
backgammon, reading — our library was considerably enlarged last year, and we have an
excellent and large collection of books besides papers and magazines — music, walking in
the grounds, cricket and croquet. Besides these we have had :
1. Two dances every week, from the end of October to the beginning of April,
instead of one a week as in all former years.
2. Weekly entertainments from first of November to the end of March.
3. Sleighing, for female patients, when roads good and horses can be spared for the
purpose.
4. Seventy-one patients were sent to the Western Fair held here last month.
5. A series of band concerts by our own band, on [the [lawn in front of main
Asylum building during the summer months.
The weekly entertainments of the year were as follows :
(a) Variety entertainment, by A. Bremner, assisted by city friends.
(b) A concert by a number of friends of Dr. Sippi.
(c) A concert by children belonging to Young Liberal Club.
(>/) A concert by London South band.
(e) " An Irish Engagement," by the Asylum Dramatic Company.
(/") Entertainment by Asylum Minstrel Troupe.
(g) Entertainment by " Young Liberal Minstrels."
(/<) Variety Entertainment by Fred. Saunders and others.
(i) Concert by W. J. Crone and others.
(j) Concert by Christ Church Choir.
(k) Concert by children of Queen's Avenue Church, under the management of
D. C. Hardy.
(I) " The Irishman in London," by Asylum Dramatic Company.
(»i) Concert by choir of King Street Presbyterian Church.
(n) Entertainment by Asylum Minstrel troupe,
(o) Concert by Dr. and Geo. Sippi and friends.
Besides the above we made a new departure this year by inaugurating the "Aaylum
Annual Athletic Sports." We had athletic sports twice in the course of the eummer
29
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
for practice and training as well as for the pleasure of the patients, and wound up the
season on 14th of September with our "Grand Annual Athletic Sports." On this
occasion a large number of prizes — many of them of some value — were given. The sports
occupied a long half day. Many patients took part in them, quite a few of them
winning prizes. The large grounds in front of the north building where they were held
were full of patients looking on and taking a keen interest in the contests. The follow-

All went off well, and our first " Annual Athletic Sports " was pronounced by
everyone a complete success.
A Icohol.
This Asylum has now been occupied seventeen full years, besides the piece of a year
from November, 1870, to 30th September, 1871. During these seventeen years an
immense experiment has been made in the use and disuse of alcohol. Beginning with
the first full year of occupation, namely, the year 1872, for five yeais — 1872-1876 —
both years inclusive, alcoholic stimulants were used at the rate of 83.50 worth per
patient per annum. During those five years 1,068 patients were treated at the Asylum.
For the next five years, from 1877 to 1881, both years inclusive, there was used at the
London Asylum instead of §3.50 worth per patient per annum exactly one hundredth
part of that amount, namely, 3^ cents worth per patient per annum. The total number
of patients under treatment during this period of five years was 1,440. I did not suppose
that 3.1, cents worth per patient per annum could do any great amount of harm, but I
concluded, after a time, that certainly it was doing no good, and I made up my mind that
I would give no alcohol in any shape or quantity aDcl so give total abstinence, as applied to
the inmates of an asylum, a fair trial. I therefore, at the end of September, 1881, dis-
continued the small quantity of alcohol that I was using and gave absolutely none. For
seven years now — from 1st October, 1882, to 30th September, 1888, we have not given
at this asylum one drop of alcohol in any shape ; nor have we given anything to take
the place of the disused alcohol ; we have simply dropped and abandoned it. During
those seven years we have had in the Asylum under treatment 1,752 patients. What
now has been the result, 1st on the death-rate, 2nd on the recovery rate ?
The death-rate for the five years 1872-6 — during which alcohol was given at the
rate of 83.50 per patient per annum was (taking the average of the five years) 5.5 per
cent.
Reckoning the same way the death-rate for the next five years — 1877-81 — during
which alcohol was given at the rate of 3^ cents worth per patient per annum, was,
taking the average of the five years as before, 4.5 per cent, per annum — just 1 per cent,
per annum less than during the first five years.
Then for the next seven years — 1882-8 — during which absolutely no alcohol was
given, the death-rate was, reckoning exactly the same way as before, 4.3 per cent, per
annum, .2 per cent, per annum less than when 3J cents worth of alcohol per patient per
annum was given.
I think these figures are remarkable. Not only speaking generally was there a fall
in the death-rate with the discontinuance of the alcohol, but the fall corresponded exactly
with the decrease, so that when we dropped from 83.50 worth per patient per annum to
3£ cents worth, the death-rate fell from 5.5 to 4.5, an immense difference, whereas when
we reduced the alcohol from 3£ cents worth per patient per annum to nothing (a very
much smaller drop) the death-rate fell merely from 4.5 to 4.3, a correspondingly trifling
difference. If this is not a case of cause and effect it looks extremely like one. It is at
least a most remarkable coincidence.
Now as to the recovery rate. During the five years, 1872-76, when $3.50 worth of
alcoholic stimulants per patient per annum was being given, the recovery rate — including
patients discharged improved — and reckoned upon the admissions year by year, was on
the average 40.19 per cent. That is, for every hundred new patients received 40.19
patients were discharged during the year either recovered or improved.
During the next five years — 1877-81 — when 3£ cents worth of alcoholic stimulants
per patient per annum was being given, the recovery rate, reckoned exactly the same way,
was 41.29 per cent, of the admissions.
Then during the last seven years — 1882-88 — no alcohol in any form being given,
the recovery rate has been on the average, reckoned the same way as before, 43.37 per
cent, upon the admissions.
So that using much alcohol, little alcohol and no alcohol it rose first from 40.19 per
cent, to 41.29 per cent., and then from the latter figure to 43.37 per cent.

The rise in the recovery rate also may be (as doubtless the friends of alcohol will say
it was) a chance coincidence, but it scarcely looks like one to me ; it looks to me more
like a case of cause and effect ; indeed it seems certain that the fact of the death-rate and
the recovery rate both following in such a strikingly exact manner, the alterations in the
amount of alcohol used could not possibly have been simply fortuitous. It is as good as
certain that the alcohol increased the death-rate and stood in the way of recoveries.
Neither is this an isolated case, though it is of course the one I know most about ; but
there are other asylums besides London where alcoholic stimulants have been or are being
lefc off, and as far as I know or have heard their experience tallies with mine.
It seems then that in asylum practice alcohol is not only not useful but that it is
absolutely harmful. But if alcohol is good for anything in any kind of sickness it should
be more valuable in asylum practice than anywhere else for several reasons :
1. Because the type of disease prevailing among the inmates of asylums is largely of
that peculiar adynamic class in which it has always been claimed that alcohol is especially
valuable.
2. Because tubercular consumption is very common among the inmates of asylums,
and alcohol is supposed to be peculiarly useful in this disease.
3. Because in asylum practice remedies of all kinds can be given with greater regu-
larity and accuracy than in general practice, and as every one knows alcohol is the
hardest of all remedies to give for any length of time in a systematic manner, the patient
and his or her friends very commonly taking the matter into their own hands and regu-
lating the quantity taken according to their own ideas.
But it seems that in asylum practice, in spite of all these apparently good reasons to
the contrary, alcohol, both as an article of diet and as a medicine, is a failure.
Why should it be so 1 What is the action of alcohol upon the body at large, and
especially upon the great nerve centers by virtue of which it arrests the recovery of these
in insanity, and instead of saving life tends to cause death 1 As far as its action
upon the nerve centers is concerned (which is what chiefly interests us at present), I
believe it is very much as described below :
The Mode of Action of Alcohol upon the Nervous System.
The nerve molecule is the essential element of the nervous system ; it is elabor.
ately built up of about a thousand atoms ; it is the storehouse of force of the organism.
The atoms of which the molecule is composed are loosely built out from its center-
and its outmost atoms are easily displaced by the impact of any force upon them. When
displaced they fall in toward the center of the molecule, entering into closer chemical
union with other atoms of the molecule, in this process (as in all similar chemical processes
taking place either inside or outside a living organism), force is evolved.
32
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
During rest, especially during sleep, by means of matter and force introduced as
food from without, the molecule is recomposed and made ready to again run down as
required for the purposes of the organism, and again in running down to evolve the
force needed to carry on the work of the organism.
In periods of prolonged rest, in health, especially in youth, the molecule is built
up and builded out, atom piled on atom, until its outer atoms and groups of atoms
become extremely unstable (like a child's house of cards built very high), and the least
impinging force is sufficient to cause the fall of large numbers of atoms into new and
more stable positions with a corresponding evolution of force, which flows into channels
suited to the ideas and emotions excited.
But even in ordinary circumstances, a structure so elaborate and oornplex as is the
nerve molecule is easily disarranged. When a disturbing force of any kind impinges
against it, the weakest ties between its atoms and parts of atoms will give way, and
a larger or smaller number of the atoms will fall into new positions.
But in building up the atoms into the complex arrangement found in the molecule
force has been employed, has become latent, has been stored up. And when the atoms
lapse into simpler positions, just so much force is liberated as would suffice to build them
from this new position back into the old one.
In ordinary life the molecules are discharged (that is, caused to run down) by the
impact against them of nerve currents carried from without along an afferent nerve or
flowing outward from a higher center, the molecules being broken by the nerve current,
just as the molecule of nitrate of silver (Ag. NO3 ) is broken by the impact of a ray of
light, or the molecule of chlorate of potassium (K Clo3 ) by the impact of a heat wave.
Perhaps it would be well if the nerve molecules could only be discharged by sense
impressions derived from the outer world, and by nerve currents flowing from one part
to another of the nervous system. Be this as it may, there is another method by which
they can be and are broken and made to yield up their stored force.
We are accustomed to look upon alcohol as a homogeneous liquid. It is nothing of
the kind (there is in fact nothing in nature which corresponds with the ordinary concept
of a homogeneous liquid). Alcohol is a liquid, indeed, but a liquid made up of innumer-
able solid bodies, each one of which is a tolerably compact mass composed of nine atoms
(C2 H6 O). These nine atoms do not touch one" another, or if they do only by their ends
or corners, for we see that they can come much closer together than as they are arranged
in the alcohol molecule, as, for instance, when they take to themselves (in combustion)
more oxygen and rush into more intimate union as carbonic acid gas (CO2 ) and water
(H2 0), giving out in the process a large volume of force. The alcohol molecule, there-
fore, must be conceived as a somewhat scraggy and angular body, not nearly as compact
and solid as, for instance, a molecule of sulphuric (H2 SO4 ) or phosphoric (H3 PO4 )
acid, but infinitely more solid than a nerve molecule.
In size the alcohol molecule is to the nerve molecule about as 1 to 100. There is
every reason to believe that when alcohol is drank, more or less of it passes as alcohol,
i.e., unchanged, into the substance of the brain and other nerve centers, the alcohol
molecules passing in all directions between and among the nerve molecules. If it does
so, the effect it must produce is obvious. The alcohol molecule is probably a thousand
times as hard to break as is the nerve molecule. When, therefore, they come together, it is
the old story over again of the earthenware pots and the iron pots. In the case before
us, the nerve molecules are the earthenware pots, which are on all sides crushed, bruised
and broken by the alcohol molecules, receiving injuries in direct proportion to the number
of these last that is thrown among them.
Let us now look at this matter a little more in the concrete, and compare the effects
which we see produced by alcohol in actual life with the effects above described, which
are supposed to be produced by the alcohol molecules upon the nerve molecules.
We have seen that, when the outlying atoms of a nerve molecule are shaken out of
place and fall in toward the center of the molcule, force is evolved. It is clear that if
alcohol molecules pass among and between nerve molecules, rubbing against them, they
must knock and shake the outlying atoms of these out of place. Observe now a man
swallow several ounces of alcohol, and note the effect produced. His eyes brighten, his
3 (l.a.) 33
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
muscles brace up, become more tense, his ideas flow, he begins to talk, perhaps sing>
speaks louder than usual, wants to fight, feels that he is very strong, that he can lift
great weights, run very fast, jump great distances. All this (on the hypothesis) simply
means that the alcohol molecules, rubbing against the nerve molecules, have caused more
or less collapse of a greater or less number of these, and that in the process, as already
explained, more force is being given out than is required for the purposes of the econonvy
at the time. Let the man take no more alcohol. After a short time this extra evolution
of force ceases, and he feels dull and languid. Why ? Because the nerve molecules are
not, until they have time to recover themselves (i.e., are rebuilt) in a position to give out
that constant flow of force which keeps the muscles braced up, supports the tone of the
whole system, and gives rise to the feeling of bien-rtre, characteristic of vigorous health.
But after a certain period of sleepiness, discomfort and languor, the nerve molecules are
recom posed, rebuilt, and the man is well again.
But suppose the man does not stop at a few glasses, but goes on drinking. He
becomes still more noisy, perhaps violent. The alcohol molecules becoming more and
more numerous in the brain, press closer and closer upon the nerve molecules, break
these down more and more — force being given out in proportion as the nerve molecules,
are caused to collapse.
There is of course a limit to this process. After a certain quantity of alcohol ha*
been drank and absorbed, the nerve molecules in the higher nerve centers are broken
down until no more collapse of them is possible and force ceases to be given out. When
this point of intoxication is reached the man is said to be " dead drunk." In order to
recover from this condition two things are necessary — first, to remove from the brain
substance the alcohol molecules which are clogging it up and preventing the restoration
of the nerve molecules, and second, to reconstruct the nerve molecules. The constant
inter-vascular circulation will soon accomplish the first, and the vital processes the second,
if the man will only abstain for a time.
But suppose the person drinking goes beyond the limit of what is called getting
" dead drunk " and drinks alcohol so copiously and so fast that before he becomes insen-
sible— and so incapable of drinking — he has swallowed enough alcohol to paralyze not
only the higher nerve centers but the lower ones also, what happens then ] It is this :
the nerve centers are in the manner explained first stimulated and then paralyzed in a
certain order. First the centres of intellectual and emotional life are excited, then
paralyzed ; next the center of co-ordination sutlers and the man cannot control his move-
ments. Next, the base of the brain and cord are first stimulated and then paralyzed and
the man dies, because the nerve centers of respiration being paralyzed he cannot breathe.
If breathing is kept up artificially, and the quantity of alcohol taken has been sufficient,
the man dies from paralysis of the nerve centers supplying the heart.
If we consider the different conditions of the system in which alcohol is ordinarily
taken, and the effects produced by it in these conditions, and then apply to each the above
hypothesis of the action of alcohol, we shall see that this exactly explains what actually
happens in each case. For instance, people take alcohol when greatly fatigued, and we
know it removes the feeling of fatigue. But what does fatigue mean 1 It means that in
certain regions of the nervous system the nerve molecules have been called upon by a
lone continued strain to give out force until they have run down into a condition in
which it is extremely inconvenieut for them to run down any more, until they have first
had an opportunity to rebuild and restore themselves during a period of quiescence. This
being the case the man has for the time being run short of vitality, i. e., of force. In this
condition he takes a dose of alcohol ; the molecules of this do for him what he could not
and ou<dit not to do for himself, they traverse in all directions the brain substance and
force by their physical impact the nerve molecules to run down still more and give out
force, when of themselves they would not and could not give out any more. The feeling
of fatigue — the lacking force being supplied to the system — passes away and is replaced
by a feeling of comfort.
The same explanation applies to using alcohol when in low spirits, when out of
breath, when weakened by illness.

My contention in brief is that the alcohol molecules pass from the stomach, after
being swallowed, into the circulation, are then carried by the arteries to all parts of the
body. When they reach a nerve center they pass through the coats of the vessels and
permeate the nerve substance, the alcohol molecules coining into direct physical contact
with the nerve molecules, and the effects of alcohol which we observe in a person under
its influence are simply the results of this physical impact.
The facts and the reasoning by which this proposition is established are as follows :
In the first place, alcohol has been found in the brain in several instances and in con-
siderable quantities in cases of persons who have suddenly died while under its influence.
It remains to demonstrate how it produces its effects.
Common alcohol, as is well known, is not the only substance which intoxicates —
that is, which being carried by the blood to the brain, at first excites then paralyzes that
organ — the proof to which I have above referred is established by an examination of the
whole gioup of intoxicants, and especially by comparing them one with another and
noting the relation which exists between their chemical composition (i. e.,. between the
size of their molecules) and their effects upon a living nerve center.
The number of chemical compounds which are capable of producing effects analagous
to that of common alcohol is very great. For the purpose of the present argument I
shall refer only to those named in the table which follows :

The whole group of intoxicants has this in common, that upon being taken into the
body they permeate the nervous system, or a part of it ; i.e., they leave the blood vessels
which carry them to the nerve centers and their molecules become diffused among the
nerve molecules. They all act by direct physical imoact upon the nerve molecules.
Sugar (C2* H28 O28), starch (C6 H10 O5 ), resin (Cu H62 O4 ), and a thousand other
harmless substances, would also be toxic agents and deadly poisons if their molecules
could leave the vessels and pass into the substance of the nerve centers.
How is it that one molecule can pass and another cannot ? This is no doubt a
simple question of physics. Doubtless the size and shape (the latter quite unknown to-
us) determines which can pass and which cannot.
Again, every substance whose molecules pass through the coats of the vessels into
the substance of the nerve centers is not an intoxicant. Sulphur (S), for instance,
passes as freely through all the tissues of the body, including the nerve centers, as any of
the alcohols, but produces no intoxication. The reason it does not is doubtless that
being an elementary body and not a compound molecule its atom is small and smooth,
and does not injure the nerve molecules as it passes between them. So water (H2 O,.
35
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
atomic weight 18) passes freely among the nerve molecules and does not injure them-
Again the proteids, whose molecules are perhaps half as large as nerve molecules
immensely larger than the atoms of any of the alcohols, pass through the coats of the
vessels and come into direct contact with the nerve molecules. Why do not they break
and injure these latter? The reason is : first, that they are soft like the nerve molecule
itself and not hard like a morphia or alcohol molecule ; and second and chiefly, that on
account of the vital affinities that exist between them and the nerve molecules, they
come into friendly and not hostile relations with these. But the molecules of alcohol,
chloral, morphia, etc., etc., have no business among the nerve molecules, no provision is
made for them there, and when they get there they are simply foreign bodies, hostile
elements.
Toxic agents, therefore, are substances whose molecules can pass among the nerve
molecules, but no provision being made for them and they not being wanted there and
being too large, hard and angular to slip past without friction, they cannot pass among
these without jostling and injuring them.
If, now, we compare the effects upon the nerve centers of the nine substances above
named, viz. : laughing gas, methylic alcohol, sulphuric ether, common alcohol, amylic
alcohol, chloroform, chloral hydrat, morphia and strychnia, we shall find a curious relation
to exist between these effects and the size of the respective molecules.
If these toxic agents act as I have said they do, we should find that those which
have large and heavy molecules would do more injury to the nerve centers upon which
they act than those which have comparatively small and light molecules, that they would
produce the deepest and deadliest intoxication, and that their effects upon the nerve
centers would be more prolonged for two reasons : first, because being bigger and heavier
they would by their impact inflict greater injury upon the nerve molecules; and second,
because their size would render them more liable to stick among the nerve molecules and
so by their continued presence both continue the injury they had already done and pre-
vent the nerve molecules being restored to their normal condition.
This is exactly what we find to be the case. In every instance the larger and
heavier the molecule of the toxic agent the more deadly and prolonged is the intoxication
produced by its use. We will consider this proposition in detail.
1. The effects of laughing gas (N2 0, atomic weight 44) are extremely evanescent,
more so than any other body on our list. There is here an apparent partial exception to
the rule just laid down, for the atomic weight of this substance is 44, while the atomic
weight of methylic alcohol is only 32. The explanation is that the number of atoms in a
molecule of laughing gas is only three, while in a molecule of methylic alcohol there are
six. A mass made up of six bodies loosely built together (as we know the atoms are in
methylic alcohol) will pass through a narrow and tortuous passage with much greater
difficulty than will another mass made up of three bodies, everything else being the same,
since the latter would be more compact and less rough and angular ; and this even if the
weight of the simpler mass should be somewhat the greater. So we can readily under-
stand why the molecules of laughing gas do less harm and remain a shorter time among
the nerve molecules than do the molecules of methylic alcohol. The intoxication pro-
duced by laughing gas only continues a few minutes after the inhalation of the gas is
discontinued.
2. When methylic alcohol (C H4 0, atomic weight 32) is drank it produces all the
effects of common alcohol, but produces these effects more rapidly. So also its effects are
much more evanescent than are those of common alcohol.
3. The molecule of sulphuric ether (C2 H5 0, atomic weight 45) is nearly equal in
weight and number of atoms as that of common alcohol. As a toxic agent it is given by
inhalation, while alcohol is taken by the mouth. If allowance be made for the different
mode of administration its effects are very much the same as those of common alcohol.
5. The number of atoms in a molecule of amylic alcohol (C5 H12 0, atomic weight
88) is twice as great as in a molecule of common alcohol, and its atomic weight is
36
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 188&
almost twice as great. When swallowed in sufficient quantity, it produces a state of
intoxication similar to that caused by common alcohol, but it takes longer than the
latter to produce its effects. The excitation or stimulation produced by this agent soon
passes off and is followed (if enough has been taken) by three stages of insensibility,
ending in the profoundest narcotism. Drunkenness caused by this agent does not
entirely pass away in less than from two to three days.
Comparing then these five substances, we find that the duration of the effects of
each is in proportion to the number of atoms contained in their respective molecules,
and therefore presumably in proportion to the resistance they meet with and the
injury they inflict in passing through the brain substance and between its niole->
cules. This will be clearly seen if the name, number of atoms, and duration of effecta
be thrown into a tabular form as follows :
1 L.G 3 Atoms Few minutes.
2 M.A 6 " 3 to 6 hours.
i p' a ' ' q[ " 10 to 15 hours.
5 A.A 18 " . 48 to 72 "
While the facility with which they produce intoxication and the lightness or gravity-
of their toxic effects also correspond with the size of the molecula causing the disturb-
ance.
The other four substances which have been named, viz. : chloroform, chloral, mor-
phia and strychnia do not admit of such an exact comparison, their chemical composition
being diverse from that of the alcohols and from one another. The molecule of chlo-
roform is made up of five, that of chloral of ten atoms, but in the case of each, three of
these atoms are atoms of chlorine whose chemical equivalent is 35.4, and whose atom is
therefore immensely heavier than an atom of any of the elements which enter into the
composition of any of the alcohols above considered.
Intoxication from chloroform or chloral is at least as prolongel and deep as that
from amy lie alcohol. '
In this connection it is necessary to remember that a drug given by inhalation acts
much more speedily than the same drug taken into the stomach, so that we cannot
compare the effects, for instance, of chloroform or sulphuric ether inhaled with those of
chloral or common alcohol taken by the mouth. We may, however, compare chlo-
roform inhaled with sulphuric ether inhaled — and chloral taken by the mouth with
common alcohol taken the same way, and then we find that the law of which we are
speaking is always observed. The effects of sulphuric ether (inhaled) are produced
more rapidly and pass off in much less time than the effects of chloroform. So the effects
of common alcohol (drank) are produced more rapidly and pass off more rapidly than
the effects of chloral taken into the stomach.
It remains to say a few words upon the effect produced upon the nervous system
by morphia and strychnia. A molecule of morphia contains 43 and one of strychnia 47
atoms. The}' both strictly obey the law laid down since their effects are more slowly
produced, last longer, and pass off more slowly than in the case of the bodies with
smaller molecules. The effect of one full dose of either of these drugs (the dose of
course not being fatal) lasts several days. Strychnia, as well as morphia, is a true-
intoxicant, its action being precisely parallel to that of the other bodies referred to, the
only difference being that it acts on the motor centers while they act first and chiefly on
the centers of moral and intellectual life.
Were there space here to continue the argument it could be shown that the effect
produced upon the nervous system by the long-continued habitual use of aloohol could
all be explained by the supposed injury done to the nerve molecule by the alcohol mole-
cule and by the continued (in some cases constant) presence of the latter among the.
former.

Religious Services.
Every Sunday during the year we have had a Protestant religious service in our
chapel, all the Protestant clergymen of the city taking part in turn.
Every second Sunday we have Catholic service at three o'clock in the afternoon.
The average number of patients who attend these services is a little less than four
hundred and fifty.
The services are very highly appreciated by the patients, and the clergymen conducting
them, who are not paid for doing so, have my hearty thanks for their disinterested labors
on behalf of the Asylum inmates.
Officers and Employes.
It gives me pleasure to be able to report that during the year just closed there have
been very few discharges of employes for any kind of misconduct ; that the work of the
Asylum has been well done and in all respects, the interests of the Asylum well cared
for by the several members of the staff, each in his or her place.
Of the medical staff, Drs. JSeemer and Robinson have been here throughout the year.
Dr. Simpson was ordered back to Kingston, 7th November, 1887, and the same day was
succeeded by Dr. Forster (then newly appointed to the service), who has been here since,
and who promises to make an efficient officer.
The appointment of Dr. C. A. Sippi, (8th September, 1887,) as Bursar, has proved
an excellent one for the asylum, he being not only an efficient officer in his own depart-
ment and a valuable adviser in all doubtful matters, but also most energetic and useful in
all matters connected with the patients' amusements. His musical talent has been of the
greatest value to us. On Sunday mornings he plays the organ and leads the choir ; and
during last amusement season he and Dr. Beemer organized an excellent minstrel troupe.
Mr. Hardy, who had been storekeeper at the Asylum since 1st April, 1876, died
26th January, of this year. Mr. D. Mackenzie was appointed to succeed him, and began
his duties here 2nd February, 1888.
Of the matron, chief attendants, farmer, gardener, engineer, carpenter, plascerer, and
other heads of departments, I am able to report that they have all filled their respective
places most efficiently.
Farm and Garden.
i
Our ornamental grounds have looked better the past summer than ever before. We
had plenty of rain, and the trees and grass retained the fresh green of early summer almost
throughout the season. The flower-beds were fully up to their usual high standard. Of
plants grown for winter flowering and decorative purposes, and in large pots for lawn
decoration during the summer, we had 3,602 ; of plants raised in the green-houses for
bedding purposes we had and used 35,1-46 ; of annuals, biennials and perennials, raised on
hot-beds under glass and transplanted into the flower-beds, we had and used 10,180.
Upon the farm we had an abundant crop, hay being the only thing at all short. The
yield of the farm was as follows : —

Admissions.
The admissions numbered ninety, and, as a class, were of the most unpromising
description. This was owing to the fact that for the greater part of the year the Asylum
was so overcrowded, that it was not possible to award admission to many urgent cases,
and when in August forty patients were transferred to Hamilton Asylum, the
vacancies were almost immediately filled by the numerous chronic cases that had
accumulated in the gaols. The constant overcrowding that has taken place this year,
goes to prove that this Asylum is no longer able to provide accommodation for the insane
of the very large district assigned to it. At one time during the official year between
forty and fifty applicants were awaiting admission, and it is only since the transfer was
made to Hamilton that we have been able to keep pace with the demand for room, and
although the transfer took place at such a recent date, nearly all of the beds made vacant
are already filled.
Discharges.
At first glance the discharges appear small in number, and the percentage of recoveries
seems unusually low. This is easily explained by the fact that for ten months of the year
very few patients were admitted, even acute cases having to be refused.
62
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
Deaths.
The death-rate has been small, amounting to but 3.76 percent, of the total number
of patients under treatment. Unfortunately one suicide has to be recorded. The cir-
cumstances attending this death were unusual, and the occurrence could not have been
anticipated. Sarah Patterson was admitted in 1876, and soon sank into a condition of
dementia, in fact was so stupid that she did not, to all appearance, possess enough intelli-
gence to enable her to appreciate her surroundings. She did not give any one the impres-
sion that she was suicidal, and no one suspected that she had any desire to destroy herself.
For some months before the date of her death she had been in failing health, and was so
weak, that she was allowed to rest on her bed for several hours every day. On Saturday,
the evening of September '29th, she was allowed to go into her room to rest, and a short
time afterward was found by an attendant suspended, by means of an apron string, to the
grating over the bedroom door. When found life was extinct. Coroner Irwin was at
once notified of the occurrence, but after enquiring into the circumstances decided that
an inquest was unnecessary.
Advances.
In many respects this has been an important year in the history of the Asylum, as
during the past twelve months several marked departures have been made in the organiza-
tion of the Institution. The founding of the Rockwood Training School for Asylum
Nurses, and the openiifg of an Infirmary under the charge of a trained nurse, have been
hopeful advances, and radical changes effected both in the appearance and appointments
of the wards have materially added to the comfort of the patients. The problem of sup-
plying a large enough variety of occupations is reaching a solution, and several new
industries have been added to the list.
Rockwood Training School for Asylum Nicrses.
Early in April, a long cherished scheme was developed, and the Rockwood Training
School for Asylum Xurses was established. This school was rendered possible when the
Government materially increased the wages of female employes, and offered remuneration
likely to attract the most desirable class of girls. This Training School is destined to
play an important part in the future history of the Asylum, and already its good influence
has been felt in all of the wards for females. Some have said that the tendency of the
school will be to make " lady nurses" of the attendants, who will shirk the unpleasant
duties of their position. This danger does not exist, in fact the tendency is to make those
in training take a broader and more intelligent view of the work they are asked to per-
form, and the course of instruction given is of the most practical nature, particularly
devoted to teaching Asylum nurses to labour in the best interests of the unfortunates
under their immediate charge. Practical work is a most important subject at the time of
examination, and the highest rewards are given to those who are most worthy of them.
The course of instruction covers a period of two years, and includes lectures on elementary
physiology and anatomy, nursing of the sick, and nursing and care of the insane. One
lecture a week is given, and each student receives practical instruction in nursing of the
sick in the infirmary, under the direction of the trained hospital nurse.
Before admission to the school each applicant is required to pass a preliminary
examination in English, and is not accepted unless she can show that she is possessed of
a good knowledge of the subjects examined in. The school opens up a field that is worthy
of cultivation by girls of education and refinement, and graduates will never find difficulty
in obtaining remunerative work in outside life, even if they are not content to remain as
asylum nurses. The nursing of the insane is quite as noble and attractive an occupation
as nursing the sick, and an ideal asylum nurse requires to be a person of higher intelli-
gence than the average hospitaL nurse.
Infirmary.
In February two cases of typhoid fever developed, and it was absolutely necessary
to open the infirmary that had been arranged in the south cottage. At that time a
63
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
trained nurse could not be engaged, and one of our attendants was temporarily placed in
charge. In March a trained nurse from Toronto General Hospital was secured, and the
infirmary lias now become an indispensable department — the wonder is that it could have
been done without for so many years. Not only are sick patients more comfortable, but
they receive necessary care that could not possibly be given in the general wards. There
are many drawbacks in having the infirmary located in the upper flat of a high building,
and now that the absolute necessity for such a department has been demonstrated, the
Government cannot be too strongly urged to put up a small isolated building for infirmary
purposes. The cost of such a building need not be great, as accommodation say, for
twenty patients, would at all times meet the requirements. This change should be made
as soon as possible, as it would enable us to use the whole of the south cottage for the
purpose originally intended, and put an end to the many inconveniences caused by having
an infirmary at the top of such a high building.
Increase of Pay to Male Attendants.
As has been stated in a previous part of this report, an increase of pay has enabled
us to effect much needed reforms among the female attendants. This year it is to be hoped
that the wages of the male attendants will be increased, as the amount given at present
is too small to induce attendants to become enthusiastic over their work. Twenty dollars
a month is not enough to entice young men of the most desirable class to remain in the
service, and when it is remembered that special aptitude for asylum work should be
demanded, it can readily be seen how difficult it is, under the present arrangement, to
secure and to keep good attendants.
Another thing that is a cause of dissatisfaction, is the fact that the old Dominion
Government employes receive half as much more as those recently appointed, and in many
instances hold subordinate positions. Although those in authority understand the reason
for such an apparently anamolous condition of affairs, it is difficult to make those recently
appointed view it in the same light, and dissatisfaction will cease only when the pay
of the younger men approximates that of the older employes. At present the changes
on the staff are too frequent, and it is often a matter of necessity to give positions to men
who are not up to the ideal standard of asylum attendants. An increase of pay would
remedy the defects of the present system, and make those who have laboured faithfully
in the past feel that their efforts have not been unappreciated.
Steam Yacht.
In past summers the patients had become so accustomed to almost daily outings on
the lake, that this year they felt that they had been deprived of a great deal of pleasure
when informed that it was impossible to charter a steam yacht. It is doubtful if a yacht
perfectly suited to the work required can be found here, and yet such a vessel has become
almost a necessity, not only as a means of amusing the chronic portion of the Asylum
population, but as a very useful adjunct in the treatment of a certain proportion of
curable and convalescing patients. A boat such as we require would not be costly, and
in the long run would prove a cheap investment.
Some thoughtless people have taken serious objection to such an institution as a
steam yacht at an asylum, on the ground that the officers will use the boat and the
patients stay in the wards. Those who use such arguments generally judge the rest of
mankind by their own standard, and accuse others of doing the small things that they
would be likely to do were they in the way of temptation. These objections should have
no weight. However, to satisfy the doubting ones, it may be said that in 1887, when we
had the St. Julien for two months or more, sixty-seven trips were made with patients in
eighteen days, and no less than 416 of the inmates averaged nearly five sails each. The
attendants were given two outings in the evening, and the officers went out for four short
runs. It is to be hoped that a small sum will be placed in the Estimates for a hull.

Amusements.
Amusements for the patients have received the usual amount of attention, and it has
been found possible to do more in this direction than was ever achieved before in this
Asylum, without adding to the expenditure. Weekly dances during the autumn and
winter were as popular as ever, and frequent " At Homes" proved wonderfully attractive
to many. These " At Homes" are with us a new feature, and offer a promising field for
development.
A brass band, composed of patients, has been formed, and in a few months will
begin to do good work. The patients in this band have a fondness for music, are unusually
intelligent and anxious to learn, and as they will devote most of their time to music, will
without doubt find the occupation iustructive.
Base ball has proved a very attractive game to many during the summer, and a good
ground has been laid out to the east of the Asylum. Many match games between picked
nines from the wards have been played, and on five occasions city nines have " crossed
bats" with the Rockwood club. Some fine games were the result, and victory once, at
least, perched on the Asylum banner ; at other times one run and the umpire were accused
of having interfered with a brilliant result. Be that as it may the B. B. 0. is in a
flourishing condition, and much is heard of next year's victories already half won.
The minstrel troupe and orchestra, as of old, did good service, and the many excel-
lent entertainments supplied by our city friends did much to relieve the monotony of
ward life.
Surgical Operations.
Two serious surgical operations were performed on patients during the year. The
first was an ovariotomy, and the second an amputation of the thigh, in a case of gangrene.
Both operations were conducted under the most rigid antiseptic precautions, and proved
successful. It is interesting to note that the operation of ovariotomy failed to exert the
slightest beneficial effect on the patient's mental condition. We are deeply indebted to
Dr. W. G. Anglin, of Kingston, who kindly performed the operations and gave the
patients the benefit of his surgical skill.
Farm and Garden.
This has not been a good year for farming operations, owing to the dry weather that
prevailed during the early part of summer. Hay was almost a complete failure, and the
potato crop will be small. ,
Kitchen.
The kitchen is one of the most objectionable features of this Institution. Situated
as it is in a basement, it is at all times damp and unhealthy, and in the winter time when
vegetables are being cooked the " villainous smells" in the centre building and No. 9 Ward
are almost unendurable. The present room cannot be made into a proper kitchen, as it
is much too small to meet the requirements of the Asylum, and being situated in the
main thoroughfare it is scarcely possible to prevent patients, etc., from constantly inter-
fering with the cooks. A simple remedy would be to erect a separate kitchen in one of
the airing courts.
Improvements.
Among the many improvements made were the following : — Poultry house built ;
coal shed (stone) built ; new engine erected in laundry ; north cottage heated by hot
water ; two wards refloored ; new court fenced ; hot water system reconstructed.
Requirements.
Among the requirements for the coming year are the following :
A local telephone system.
Renewal of the heating apparatus in the Medical Superintendent's house, as sug-
5 (L.A.) 65
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
gested in last year's report. Competent authorities pronounce the present system to be
not only obsolete and expensive, but unsafe in its present condition.
A waggonette for general purposes, to take the place of vehicles completely worn out.
A windmill to pump water from the lake to the cattle stables.
An extra housemaid should be added to the staff. The attendants dining rooms
cannot be made as comfortable as could be desired until they are put in charge of a house-
maid, but as the staff is constituted at present this is not possible. The result of the
present arrangement has been a great deal of dissatisfaction, and as long as the attendants'
tables are under the care of patients alone it will not be possible to have things as com-
fortable as they should be. This is a matter of a good deal of importance.
Another male attendant is required. This addition would not only end the constant
troubles and dangers arising from being short-handed, but would make it possible to keep
more patients employed on the farm.
Thanks.
Thanks are due to the city clergymen who have conducted Divine service and minis
tered to the wants of the sick ; to the editors who furnished copies of their newspapers ;
to the directors of the Midland Fair for courtesies extended to the patients ; to members
of the different choirs and dramatic clubs before referred to, and to Master W. Tandy for
his kindness in conducting the musical portion of the weekly service at Regiopolis.
Officers and Employees.
The officers and employe's as a whole have shewn commendable zeal and enthusiasm
in carrying on the work of the year.
The following changes took place on the staff : — In November, 1887, Dr. Simpson,
assistant physician, who had been doing duty for some months in London Asylum, returned
to this Institution, and Mr. C. W. Nelles, who had been acting as clinical assistant, left
the service in order to resume his medical studies.
In March, 1888, Miss Marion V. Wilson, a graduate of Toronto Hospital school,
began her duties as Trained Nurse. In September, 1888, Miss Sarah E. Hardy, Matron,
exchanged positions with Miss M. E. Kirkpatrick, Matron of Orillia Asylum.
I have the honour to be, sir,
Your obedient servant,
C. K. CLARKE,
Medical Superintendent.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MEDICAL SUPERINTENDENT OF THE
ASYLUM FOR INSANE, HAMILTON.
Hamilton, October 1st, 188S.
To the Inspector of Prison-: and Public Charities, Ontario :
Sir, — I have the honour to submit herewith the Thirteenth Annual Report of this
Asylum for the year ending September 30th, 1S88.
The number of patients in this Asylum on the 1st of October, 1887, was 317 males
and 307 females. Total, 624.
Number admitted during the year by Lieutenant-Governor's warrant, 108 males ami
65 females. Total, 173.
Number admitted by certificate, 68 males and 84 females. Total, 152.
Number admitted during the year, 176 males and 149 females. Total, 325.
Total number under treatment during the year, 949.
Discharged as recovered. 27 mules and 15 females. Total, 42.
Discharged as improved, 6 males and 8 females. Total, 14.
Discharged as unimproved, 4 males and G females. Total, 10.
Number of discharges during year, 37 males and 29 females. Total, 66.
Number of deaths, 25 males and 18 females. Total, 43.
Number of elopements, 5 males and no females.
Number transferred to other Asylums, 1 male and 2 females. Total, 3.
Remaining in Asylum 30th September, 1888, 425 males and 407 females. Total, 832.
Ratio of discharges, recovered and improved, of admissions (excluding those admitted
from other Asylums), 27.49 per cent.
Mortality on number under treatment during the year, 4.53 per cent.
Cost of maintenance per patient for year ending September 30th, 1888, 8158.37.
In making my report last year I laboured under the disadvantage of having been only
one month in charge, and my remarks were necessarily as brief as my experience was
imperfect. This year I have had the benefit of a full year's experience, during which time
I have been a careful student in the wide field of psychological observation as well as in
mastering the detail of asylum management. Whether or not I have sufficiently profited
by that experience time and results alone will prove.
Orchard House.
The most important event of the year was the completion and occupancy of Orchard
House, which provides additional accommodation for 300 patients — a structure alike
creditable to the Government, the contractor and all concerned in its construction. Apart
from its architectural design and beauty externally, its internal plan of arrangement, with
a dining room on each hall, marks an important advance in asylum construction in this
Province, and settles forever, to my mind, its immense superiority over the general dining
room system still in vogue here.
We have expended an immense amount of labour in removing debris from around the
building and in levelling and terracing the grounds. Fortunately this is a class of work
well adapted to asylum labour and we have utilized it to the fullest extent, and though
much remains to be done yet, [ hope before winter sets in to have the work so far
advanced as to give the surroundings a somewhat neat and finished appearance.
The internal furnishing of the building is still incomplete. The walls of the spacious
halls look bare for want of pictures ; the reception room is still unfurnished, and there
are no couches on the halls for sick or infirm patients to recline upon.
An extention of the telephone system would be a great convenience to u?, especially
to Orchard House, Superintendent's house, and stables.

Main Building.
The heating of the main building is very defective notwithstanding an immense con-
sumption of coal. I am satisfied there must be something radically wrong with the
system. An appropriation was made last session to improve this defect, but nothing has
been done and winter is again upon us.
The basement floor on the male side is so rotten as to be both unsafe and unwhole-
some. I proposed during the summer to have it laid with cement, which we could have
done ourselves, but the necessary material was not forthcoming and the work had to be
abandoned.
The amusement hall has been painted under the superintendance of an attendant with
a staff of patients, they have exhibited a good deal of taste in the artistic design of their
work. Had we suitable stage scenery we would now have a most beautiful and attractive
hall. A good deal of repainting has been done on all the halls which gives them a neat
and cheerful appearance.
Farm and Buildings.
An additional ninety-five acres of land was added to our farm by purchase during
the year, making in all about 300 acres in connection with the Asylum. It was the
month of August before we came into possession of this land, too late to receive any
returns from it this year. The purchase of the Andrews' property would now make our
farm compact and symmetrical.
The products of the farm are less than usual this year on account of the failure of
the wheat and hay crops. The spring crops and roots are, however, excellent and com-
pensate to some extent for the failure in the other.
There are two vacant houses on the new farm, one has sufficient accommodation for
two families ; it will be for you to say whether or not they shall be occupied and by whom.
A good deal of progressive work has been done on tin farm, throughout the year, in
the way of fencing, draining and stumping. Our principle requirements on the farm for
next year will be fencing material and drain tile.
I would again draw your attention to the necessity for new farm buildings, including
a root house and piggery. Since the occupation of Orchard House the piggery has become
more than ever obnoxious to us. On warm days, with the wind from the west, they were
under the necessity of shutting down the windows to keep out the stench.
Our winter supply of coal lies piled up outdoors for want of shed room, exposed to
all kinds of weather ; an effort should be made to provide against this as early as possible.
The necessity for enlarged refrigerator accommodation was severely felt during the
summer. The present refrigerator was intended to serve a much smaller population than
we have at present.
Garden.
1 am pleased to state that the products of the garden have been most prolific,
* an abundance of all kinds of fruit and vegetables was supplied in due season.
The gardener has exhibited most commendable energy in his work, considering the
means at his disposal. Before another season closes we shall rejoice in what has been a
long-felt want at this Asylum, viz., a green house.
A good deal of substantial work has been done in road-making and gravelling and
otherwise ornamenting the grounds.
Water Supply.
Two ineffectual attempts were made during the year to get a supply of water for
the Asylum other than the present expensive method. The first was by drilling 1,200
eet in the rock, which proved a failure. The other was to develop a spring on the
arm of Mr. Terryberry, about 1| miles from the Asylum. Several charges of dynamite
86
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
■were put in the rock from which it flowed, hoping to increase tl e flow, which it did, still,
after a continuous test of twenty-four hours, it was discovered that the supply was only
equal to about one-half what we required, and was abandoned.
A new engine is to be put in at the pump house, on Queen street, with an enlarged
water main to the Asylum. An increased tank capacity at the main building is now
necessary to complete this system, which would obviate the necessity of pumping on
Sundays and ensure us plenty of water in any emergency.
Superintendent's House.
An addition to the Superintendent's house is now in course of erection which will
provide ample accommodation for any ordinary family. Though not in the original
estimate, provision is made for a furnace in the cellar. I trust you may be able to
impress upon the Government the necessity of heating the house with hot water as early
as possible, not only as a matter of economy, but from the difficulty experienced in heating
the enlarged area of the house by the present method.
Horses and Carriages.
We have a very poor class of horses. Some of them are so old and crippled as to be
unfit for any purpose but consuming hay and oats. A very inferior team was bought last
spring for the messenger waggon, to take the place of the ponies. I cannot too strongly
condemn the practice of buying this class of horses ; we have too many of them already,
and they consume as much as good horses. The horse formerly driven by the Super-
intendent has become quite disabled for driving on the road and I have converted him
into a cart horse, so that I am practically without a horse altogether. I would recom-
mend the purchase of two good driving horses and rigs. Our carriages are old and
shabby-looking, and cost more to keep them in repair than would buy new ones.
Suicides.
I have to report two cases of suicide during the year, both by strangulation. The
first was a female named Bridget English, an inveterate suicide, she had made repeated
attempts to hang herself, and was continually making ropes for that purpose ; she was
cut down once before just in time to save her life. This time she succeeded in eluding
the watch of the two attendants on the hall for a few moments and hung herself with a
rope made of knitting cotton to one of the steam pipes in the dormitory. It happened
about nine o'clock in the forenoon. She was still alive when cut down, but all efforts to^
resuscitate her were unavailing. An inquest was held by Coroner Woolverton and the
following verdict returned :— " That Bridget English came to her death by hanging herself,
in the Hamilton Asylum, she being insane, November 10th, 1887, and that no blame
attaches to any of the officers or attendants of the Asylum."
The other case was that of "William Lymburner, H<: had only been eight days in the
Asylum and was not suspected of being suicidal. He hung hims'elf by fastening the sheet
of his bed to the iron grating above the door. He was found by the night watch, about
eleven o'clock p.m., standing with his feet on the floor. Two other patients slept in the
same room with him, but he did his work so stealthily that they never heard him.
Coroner White was notified, but, on hearing the circumstances, did not deem it necessary
to hold an inquest.
Amusements.
The weekly dance, together with concerts and dramatic performances were kept up
with spirit throughout the winter. During the summer out-door amusements, in the form
of base-ball matches for the men and picnics for the women, were entered into with zest
87
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
ami highly appreciated. We are deeply indebted to many kind friends in the city for the
warm interest they manifested in coming, often at great sacrifice, to contribute to our
enjoyment, and to relieve, as far as possible, the gloom and monotony of asylum life.
Sunday Service.
The usual Sunday service has been regularly conducted throughout the year by the
Ministerial Association and others ; the service is highly appreciated by the patients, and
I have much pleasure in recording my hearty thanks to the clergymen who have so kindly
ministered to our spiritual wants. .
Officers and Employe's.
The opening of Orchard House necessarily involved the engagement of an increased
number of attendants and other employes. I am pleased to state that I was singularily
fortunate in securing a class who are devoted and conscientious in the discharge of their
duty.
The only change to note under this head is the resignation of Miss Shaw, the chief
female attendant, who had faithfully discharged her duties here for nearly seven years.
Her place has been tilled by Miss Rice, who has already given evidence of peculiar fitness
for the position.
With trifling exceptions, I am pleased to say that every officer and employe has-
discharged his and her duties with the utmost faithfulness. The medical staff have been
especially faithful and loyal in the discharge of their duty and have ably and cheerfully
supported me in my onerous work. Considering the large number of people, sane and
insane, associated together in such intimate relations, and the amount of labour and
material required in even providing for their daily wants, the marvel is that the machinery
should run so smoothly and with so little friction.
In conclusion, we have reason to congratulate ourselves upon having, in a quiet and
unostentatious way, endeavoured to discharge the great public trust committed to us with
the utmost fidelity and zeal.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
JAMES RUSSELL,
Medical Superintendent

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MEDICAL SUPERINTENDENT OF THE
ONTARIO ASYLUM FOR IDIOTS, ORILLIA.
Orillia, 1st October, 1888.
To the Inspector of Asylums, etc :
Sir, — I have the honour to transmit herewith my Twelfth Annual Report of this
Asylum, for the year ending 30th September, 1888.
At the close of last year we had in residence 210 inmates, of whom 111 were males
and 99 females. There have been admitted during the year 105, of whom 50 were males
and 55 females. Of these 13 males and 16 females #were admitted on the Lieutenant-
Governor's warrant, and 37 males and 39 females in the ordinary way. The number of
admissions is large owing to the opening of the new building. The death-rale is also
large, being 26, or about 8 per cent, on the number under care during the year. It is a
peculiar fact that the rate is always greater among new admissions, owing, no doubt, to
the complete and sudden change in habits and surroundings. Thus 1 6 of the deaths
occured among the new admissions. Three inmates, 2 males and 1 female, were trans-
ferred to the Hamilton Asylum, and 1 male and 1 female were taken home by parents,
making 31 in all as discharged by death and removals. There were under care during the
year 315, or 161 males and 154 females.
Applications for Admission.
The number of admissions has been the largest in the history of the institution — 76
by medical certificate and 29 by Lieutenant-Governor's warrant. The applications, how-
ever, have been larger, for while 76 came in in the ordinary way there were 80 applica-
tions. At the end of last year I had 303 applications on file ; this year I have 307, with
only 16 vacancies, mainly reserved for warrant cases. In view of the fact that it will be
at least two years before we can possibly have any further accommodation, it becomes a
very serious question to explain away the reason for not being able to receive this very
large number seeking admission, many of them of a most urgent nature. The country
knows that something in the neighbourhood of $120,000 has been expended in the last
three years to meet this demand, and it is justly felt by those whose claims have been set
aside that they have just as good a right to be relieved of the care of their imbeciles and
idiots as those who have been more fortunate. Time, of course, will remedy all this, and
when the main buildings are erected we will have ample room for many years. I believe
this to be true, notwithstanding the fact that I estimate our idiot population at 2,500. I
do not anticipate that we will ever be asked to care for more than the one-third of this
number ; nor do I believe idiocy to be on the increase in a greater ratio than the normal
increase of population. I believe, too, that this Asylum will tend largely to decrease the
number of idiots in this Province — for this reason : every female idiot, if young when
sent here, will be placed beyond the chance of giving birth to her kind, and thereby
a prolific source will be cut off, as it were, at the fountain head. Some few months ago
I was staggered on receiving an application from a barrister, in one of our central counties,
for the admission of a family of seventeen idiots. There are three of them here now, all
females, and from their history I learn the family have been co-habiting among themselves,
and one of them actually gave birth, to a child on the roadside. This has been going on
for years, and they now number, including children and grandchildren, seventeen. It is
quite certain if the " mother of them all " had been confined in an asylum before she began
giving birth to children we would not have such a scandalous record as this to make. It
must be conceded that this a most disgraceful state of affairs to exist in the very centre of
Ontario ; and the officials and authorities of the township and county cannot be too
strongly censured for their laxness in permitting this to go on so long.
Expenditure.
Our maintenance expenditure the last year has been greater than in any year since
the opening of the institution — being at the rate of §158 per inmate, as against §124 the
105
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
year before. The increase, however, could not be avoided. For instance, in fuel alone
the1 increase reached $27 per inmate — being at the rate of $33.26 as compared with $6.2d
the previous year. In the articles of vegetables the increase was §3.44, owing to the
scarcity and high price paid for potatoes last winter and spring. Many items, such as
fitting up new laundry, structural alterations in the old building to provide school-rooms,
furnishing rooms for teachers and others, were paid out of our maintenance account,
whereas they should have been included in capital account. The item for fuel is tremen-
duously large, but it must be remembered we now have three boiler houses instead of
one, and seven boilers instead of two, and that it will require no more to run the complete
institution with 500 inmates.
Improvements.
We have not done as much work in the way of permanent improvements at the
farm as I would have liked. Still, we did a good deal. Early in the season the inmates
removed the brush und inflammable rubbish from about twelve acres of ground to the open,
and burned it. Nearly all the stumps have disappeared from around the buildings, but
the chief work lias been on the road leading from the boiler-house to the railway switch.
It will not only be an ornamental road, but a substantial and permanent one. There
was no fencing done, although we had an appropriation for that purpose. This is to be
regretted, for there can be no valid reason why all work of that nature should not be
gone on with at once, instead of waiting two or three years until the buildings are com-
pleted, especially as money is voted from year to year for them. It goes without saying
if works of this class are of sufficient importance to warrant the vote of an appropriation
of money, they are of sufficient importance to warrant the expenditure of that appro-
priation with as little delay as possible.
Wants.
Provision having been made for stables and coal-sheds, I would recommend that
appropriations be obtained for a driving-shed and the following wants : — At present our
vehicles, such as waggons, sleighs, etc., have to remain out in the weather for the want of
a building. We also require a good piggery. There should be a large brick ash-house,
as now we have to throw our ashes out in the snow during winter, in an unsightly pile,
which takes a good part of early summer to get free of ice and snow before they can be
drawn away. I called your attention last year to the necessity of draining our low or
bottom land, north and east of the buildings, before anything can be done to put them in
shape for grounds and gardens. This work should not be delayed another year, and I
would recommend the purchase of a sufficient number of drain tiles to do this work, with
an extra appropriation for labour. It must not be expected that the tile-draining can be
done exclusively by the inmates, or work similar to it. Their labor can be profitably
applied in the way of struggling with the stones so plentifully dispersed over our land, in
making roads, building stone walls, and generally grading up, in addition to the regular
farm and garden labor. After the drains are laid, tree-planting should be vigorously
gone on with, and our gardens can be put into shape. We must have a thoroughly
experienced gardener. Indeed, this appointment should have been made last spring,
especially as provision was made for him in our salary appropriation. I suppose I need
hardly call your attention to the desirability of putting storm windows on our buildings,
as both you and the architect have agreed that such sbould be done. Nor should it be
necessary to again refer to the necessity for acquiring the strip of land between us and
the lake. This should have been purchased long ago, and something done with it.
School and Children.
We have at long last made a beginning with our school. In May last Miss M. B.
Christie was appointed teacher, and immediately thereafter essayed the somewhat difficult
task of instructing idiots. It was a new experience to her, for although well up in the
kindergarten system, the raw material supplied her here was so exceedingly crude and
106
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
unpromising that it well might make her pause before beginning. Miss Christie appears
to be devoted to her work, and it is really marvelous to witness the improvement already
made. She has been assisted in the work so far by Miss Kate Jennings, a young lady
with many of the qualities that go to make up a successful teacher. As, however, we
have some seventy-five children already, it will be seen that another teacher is absolutely
essential, and I would respectfully ask that another be appointed at the New Year.
When this work has to come down to individual teaching, and wonderfully patient teach-
ing at that, it can be easily seen that two teachers cannot accomplish it.
Our Nev) Buildings.
In November last we transferred the fifty-five males from the old building we
occupied in town to our new buildings, and since then we have gradually tilled up with
what in our judmnent were the most pressing and urgent cases. After nearly a year's
experience and trial, the verdict must be more than unanimous in favour of the buildings.
They are admirably adapted for the purpose — day-rooms and dormitories being spacious,
light and airy. They are the finest I ever saw, taking them all in all. The laundry and
kitchen, in fact every 'department, is in keeping with the day-rooms and dormitories.
The girls' building was opened in February, and placed in charge of Miss Brunskill,
who has been chief attendant here for the last five years. I have had no cause to regret
this step, as she has proved to be a thoroughly competent and efficient officer.
Changes.
On the 15th September Miss Kirkpatrick, who had been Matron for the last eight
years, was transterred to the same position at the Kingston Asylum ; and Miss Hardy,
who had been Matron at Kingston, took charge here. While regretting to lose an old
officer, I feel satisfied the new one will in every way take her place, and from the
very short experience of two weeks, I am led to believe that Miss Hardy will be an
amiable as well as an efficient officer.
In conclusion, I beg to refer to the very pleasant meeting of the Association of
Officers of American Institutions for Idiots, which was held here in June last. It proved
to be the largest meeting in the history of the Association, and in addition to the work
done, the social feature was exceedingly pleasant.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
A. H. BEATON,
Medical Superintendent.

Admissions.
Of the admissions, 19 males and 2 females came in as inebriates upon their voluntary
application. One male inebriate was sent here upon the Hon. the Provincial Secretary's
warrant, and 1 male was admitted for treatment under the provisions of Sec. 37, Chap.
246, R. S. 0. 87. The remainder, viz., 9 male and 5 female, were certified as being
insane.
Discharges.
Of those discharged, 18 males and 2 females were of the inebriate class, whilst 10
males and 4 females belonged to the department for insane. Two of the inebriates
were opium habituates, and returned to their homes entirely emancipated from the bane-
ful influences of this enslaving drug. As to the recovery of inebriates, I have dilated
somewhat on this subject in another part of this report.
Of the insane who were discharged, 6 recovered and returned to their homes, 5 were
improved and 3 were unimproved. The 5 improved and one of the unimproved were
removed to one or other of the Provincial Asylums, where they were received at a greatly
reduced cost for maintenance. One of the unimproved had been here for over three
years ; she developed a large ovarian tumor, and was taken home to be nursed by her
relatives. The other discharged unimproved had cancer of the intestines ; he was removed
to the General Hospital to be operated upon, and afterwards taken home.
Deaths.
It is a matter of much gratification to be able to send in my report without having
to record a single death, or any serious illness of any kind. The health of the patients
has been remarkably good, and whilst the city of Guelph was visited during the summer
with diphtheria, typhoid fever and other contagious diseases, nothing of the sort made
its appearance in the institution. This speaks volumes for the salubrity of the site
selected, and the sanitary arrangements of the institution.
Inebriety.
The recent agitation in Toronto for the establishment of an inebriate asylum in that
city, and also a movement last summer in Hamilton with the same object in view, points
to the fact that the care of the inebriate is a problem which, at the present time, is again
pressing itself upon the consideration of thoughtful minds. Many views have been
expressed upon the subject, representing a wide diversity of opinion as to the best mode
of dealing with this helpless class of our community.
This diversity of opinion, wide and far-reaching in opposite directions, has, in a
large measure, arisen out of a want of knowledge of the true nature of the inebriate.
Some maintain he is a vicious outcast with no intellect, whose only desire is to
gratify the animal propensities, indulging in that which gives him pleasure for the time
being, without having regard to after consequences. Those who hold this view consign
him to the severest measures of repression, punish him, and sober him up for the time
being, then return him to the world, when, having been irritated by the severity of his
treatment, his worst nature is developed, and the first thing he does is to " return like a
dog to his vomit."
Others of the fanatic and hyper-religious type, recognize in the inebriate a clear
intellect, and say he has simply fallen from grace, that his drinking propensities are
purely the workings of Satan, and that his only hope of cure depends upon the grace of
God.
Whilst yet a third class, of whom the term " charlatan " is a fitting designation,
assert that inebriety is simply a taste or desire for alcohol, and prescribe an antidote which,
they claim, completely destroys the taste for liquor, and cures the patient. I need hardly
say such nostrums are usually only invented for the purpose of making money at the
expense of the unfortunate victims of clever but unscrupulous humbugs. They contain
substances which are deleterious to the human system, and frequently launch their dupes
118
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
from the arena of alcoholism into the thraldom of the opium habit. There is no specific
medicine which will cure the alcohol habit.
Lastly, the scientist asserts that inebriety is a physical disease, and must be treated
on principles in harmony with scientific knowledge of the present day.
Until inebriety is thoroughly understood, diversity of opinion will exist, and no
rational line of management is likely to be agreed upon.
In the light of our present knowledge we are confronted with two aspects of cases,
viz., that of vice or sin, and that of disease ; upon one or other of these views must the
management of each particular case be carried out. It is, therefore, of primary import-
ance to distinguish, in a given case, whether the patient drinks on account of vicious pro-
pensities, or whether he is impelled to do so by disease.
It is not an easy matter to draw a clear distinction between vice and disease, the
line of demarcation between them is not clearly defined, and those who look for mathe-
matical precision in this direction, are doomed to disappointment. It is just as impossible
to say that, up to a certain point, drinking is a vice, and beyond that point it is a disease,
as it is to draw a line of demarcation between sanity and insanity. In the latter instance
there are imperceptible gradations all the way from the most highly organized and
intellectual being, down to the demented and drivelling idiot. Between these two
extremes there are various grades of intellectual manifestations, which gradually approach
and interlace one another, so that in the centre we have people of mixed type who can
hardly be called sane, and whom it would be equally erroneous to classify as insane.
They constitute that large class of eccentric and peculiar people which, for want of a
better term, are designated as being on the "border-land." So it is with inebriety, be-
tween the two extremes of total abstinence and the confirmed dipsomaniac, there are
various gradations approaching each other, and we find in the centre men of mixed
characters — border-liners, so to speak, whose drinking habits are continued partly under
the influence of vice, and partly impelled by disease.
These intemperate " border-liners," unless they are rescued from their indulgences,
quickly pass from inebriety as a vice to inebriety as a disease. It is with this class that
religious influence is such a potent factor in restoring to manhood the inebriate who
maintains he can stop drinking whenever he wishes to, but who, unfortunately, so seldom
wishes to. It is to be deplored that so few of this class realize the dangerous ground
upon which they stand ; before they are aware of the fact they have outraged nature too
much, the pendulum has swung too far, and they are launched into the servitude of
inebriety as a disease, with all its unrelenting punishments and enslaving surroundings.
Whilst it is difficult to define the limits of vice and disease, I think we can lay down
data which will sufficiently approximate it for all practical purposes.
" By inebriety as a vice;" says Dr. , "we mean that form of drinking which is
not characterized by any longing, deep-seated appetite, or craving for stimulants, but
results from mental or emotional promptings to indulge in alcohol, and is chiefly noticed
in those persons who do not consult their conscience or judgment, but who are ready to
tread any path that others may mark out for them, especially if it leads in the direction
of bodily or mental pleasure."
Such persons drift into evil habits without being aware of the course they are
pursuing ; they get drunk " by accident," and having once passed the bounds of propriety
they easily float down the enticing stream which leads to sunken rocks, and wreck their
lives on that reef which the medical world has designated " dipsomania." From this
state, by their own unaided efforts they are unable to extricate themselves. At first
their drinking is merely a socially vicious propensity, which, being indulged, leads to
disease or crime, or both.
Inebriety, as a vice, is under the will-power and control of the drunkard himself ; he
can take a drink or leave it alone at pleasure, he has no craving for it, nor does one drink
cause an insatiable desire for another, to be followed by yet one more and a good stiff one
in the morning "to brace him up and give him an appetite for breakfast."
" By inebriety as a disease," says thesamd'authority, "we mean that form of drinking
which is characterized by a longing, deep-seated appetite, and craving for drink. It
results from a disturbed condition of the great nerve centres."
119
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
This condition is brought about either by prolonged vicious indulgence, by inherited
instability of the nervous system, by external injuries, or by derangement of the internal
organs. The man who is thus afflicted has no more power to control his desire for think
than he has to control the action of his heart, or the involuntary expansion and contrac-
tion of his lungs during respiration. His drinking is the outward expression of disturb-
ance within him, it, is as much a symptom of disease as chills and fever are symptoms of
malaria. Bis drinking is a necessity to his diseased system, he must have drink, he
drinks whenever he can get it, in private as well as in public, he takes it home with him,
he is afraid to be without it and always keeps it within easy reach. Moral influences
alone cannot control him. The necessity of providing for his family, his own health, his
spiritual welfare, are equally unavailing. Promises of reformation made with all honesty
of purpose ; solicitations of his friends, clergymen, and those who are near and dear to
him, are all cast to the wind when the desire for drink comes on, and alcohol he will have
no matter at what cost or how low he may have to degrade himself to obtain it. He is
simply incapable of abstaining ; because he is diseased, his will impaired, its power broken
with every nerve, muscle and other organs in his body crying out in the form of pain,
" give me alcohol." Alcohol he knows paralyzes the nerves, deadens pain, quiets rest-
lessness and gives him comfort.
Coincident with this insatiable desire and irresistible impulse to indulge in alcohol,
the acute observer will note a change in the man's moral character. This change is
perhaps the best criterion we have of the advent of disease. The man, as compared with
himself, has changed ; his moral principles are one by one being swept away, he becomes
coarse and vulgar. Asa rule, the first of his moral principles to depart is veracity;
little or no dependence can be placed on his word ; he will assert as truth what everyone
else knows to be false. Next comes a loss of sense of moral obligations to others, whilst
he will argue that others fail in their duty towards him ; hence arise bickerings and bitter
feelings between relatives and friends. Loss of self-x-espect supervenes. The religious,
moral and highly honorable man becomes grossly immoral, loses all sense of shame,
becomes untidy in his person, indifferent to public opinion, and conducts himself in a
manner repugnant to the moral usages of society. His passions and desires are excited
by disease instead of motive. This loss of self-control is but another sjmpton of diseased
action.
Later in his career the intellectual faculties give way : whilst at an early stage he was
able to reason correctly, talk intelligently and argue acutely, he now loses control of
these faculties, his intellect becomes impaired, memory fails, he cannot grasp the meaning
of what he reads, and unless life is ended by apoplexy, heart disease, or some other inter-
current malady, he sinks into the condition of a dement and dies an intellectual and
moral wreck.
To place this matter a little more clearly I may summarize the distinction between
vice and disease in regard to inebriety, as follows : —
Vice — Is under the will-power and control of the individual.
Disease — Is imperative and beyond his control.
Vice — Drinks for pleasure.
Disease — Drinks from necessity.
Vice — Seldom drinks except in company.
Disease — Drinks chiefly in private.
Vice — Is amenable to religious and moral teachings.
Disease — Cannot be controlled solely by religious or moral influences.
Vice — Does not work any radical change of character.
Disease — Produces serious and marked change of character, especially of the mora
nature, followed in the later stages by intellectual impairment.
Drunkenness is a vice.
Dipsomania is a disease, of which alcoholic indulgence is one of the chief and early
symptoms.
120
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 1). A. 1889
From the foregoing it is not difficult to come to some conclusion as to the mode of
management in a given case. Where vice and sin are the factors we may safely leave the
treatment to the care of the clergy and other well-meaning people, whose high and
honorable office is to ferret out and deal with sin.
When disease is present it rests with medical men and the State to take action.
What that action should be I must leave to others to point out ; one thing, however, is cer-
tain, that total abstinence must be enforced. Whether this will be best accomplished by the
gaols, asylums or in isolated districts where alcohol is not obtainable, experience alone
will prove. I think, however, it makes but little difference how it is eftected, so long as
the abstinence is sufficiently prolonged to allow nature to do her work In gaols the
inebriate can and does get all the purely medical treatment his case requires, but unfor-
tunately the term of commitment is too short to effect any permanent results, and much
as the gaol surgeon may endeavour to do his duty towards his patient he is severely
handicapped by the patient passing from under his control almost as soon as he recovers
from the acute effects of the debauch for which he was committed.
In estimating the good obtained by placing a patient in an asylum, it is to a large
extent conjecture whether a cure can be effected in any particular case. So much depends
upon the patient's surroundings after he leaves the institution that his treatment may be
said to extend to a period much longer than that defined by his stay in an asylum, and it
is this after-period which largely determines his future career. It is, therefore, impos-
sible, without some fixed criterion of what a cure is, to give accurate figures as to
percentages of recoveries. Nevertheless, from observation of those inebriates who have
been in the Homewood Retreat during the past five years, I am able to note many who
have led regular lives since their discharge and have successfully followed their various
vocations. There is no doubt the institution has been an inestimable boon to many who
have availed themselves of it. They have regained their will-power, their general health
has been brought as near as possible to a normal standard, and they have been restored to
society in such a condition that with proper environment they are in the best possible
condition to again take their place in the world and become bread-winners for those
depending upon them. Nor have the benefits of the institution ended here, for the family
circle has been relieved of a disturbing element, home rendered pleasurable, and money
which was being squandered has been saved.

COMMON GAOLS.
In the annual report upon the Common Gaols of the Province, the first
point to be touched upon is the number of commitments. During the year
ending on the 30th September, 1888, the total number of persons committed was
12,454, as compared with 11,017 in the previous twelve months. The table
immediately following this paragraph shews the commitments to the common
gaols in each year since the 1st October, 1868, under the four divisions of males
over and under 16 years of age, and of females over and under that age.

Comparing the figures relating to 1888 with those of 1887, it is seen that in
1888 there is an increase in the total commitments of 1,437, or 13.04 per cent.
The increase is not confined to one or two of the sub-divisions, but extends to
them all. The commitments of adult males shew an increase of 1,064, or 11.82
per cent.; of adult females an increase of 204, or 12.96 per cent. ; of boys an
increase of 142, or 34.71 per cent.; and of girls an increase of 27, or 71.05 per cent.
It is noticeable that the number of boys committed is larger than in any previous
year, and that the commitment of girls has only been exceeded five times.
A further analysis shews that of the total commitments 80.77 per cent, were
adult males, 14.27 per cent, adult females, 4.42 per cent, boys under 16, and 0.52
per cent, girls under 16.

It will be seen that there has been an increase in the number of commitments
in each class, as compared with the previous year. In the first class the increase
is equal to 10.14 par cent.; in the second to 28.81 per cent. ; in the third to 11.22
per cent. ; in the fourth to 9.12 per cent., and in the fifth to 7.05 per cent. In
the subdivisions too increases are shewn in the commitments for some of the most
serious crimes, such as murder, manslaughter, rape, felonious assault, arson,
burglary, forgery, house-breaking and robbery. The commitments for drunken-
ness and disorderly conduct have increased by 321 in number, although the ratio
of such commitments to the total number is less than it was in the previous }Tear,
being 35.74 per cent, as against 37.49. In 1886, the ratio was 33.39 per cent,
and in 1885, 32.34 per cent., and in 1884 38.49 per cent.

A summary is given below shewing the days stay respectively of those
prisoners whose maintenance was chargeable to the Province and of those who
were a charge on the Municipalities : —

Gaol Accommodation.
In the first statistical table given on page 2 of this report, it is shewn that
in the year ending 30th September, 1869, 5,655 persons were committed to the
gaols of the Province, and that since then the number of commitments has grad-
ually increased, with occasional fluctuations, and that during the year now
under report, the commitments were 12.454 in number. Whilst this increase
in the number of prisoners is equal to 102.54 per cent., the gaol accommo-
dation has not increased in anything like the same proportion, and therefore
there is in some gaols over-crowding and a lack of accommodation, making a
proper classification of prisoners almost impossible.

This matter has been under discussion at various times of late, at meet-
ings of the Prison Association held here, and in the public press and by those
having official authority. Last June a Departmental memorandum on the
subject was issued by the Hon. the Provincial Secretary, the Minister in charge
of the Department of Prisons, etc., a copy of which is appended. The action
taken by the Inspectors, with a view to obtaining increased accommodation in
certain gaols, is set forth in the separate reports upon those gaols, and from
them it will be seen that endeavours are being made to increase the accom-
modation of the gaols in Toronto, London, Belleville and Ottawa. The memo-
randum is as under : —
'• Toronto, June 27th, 1888.
" Referring to the subject which we canvassed pretty thoroughly last year,
viz., the adequacy of the accommodation afforded by our gaols, notably for youth-
ful offenders and for persons of unsound mind, temporarily committed to gaol, I
again particularly draw the attention of the Inspectors to the following points :
" In counties containing large cities, such as Toronto, London, Hamilton and
Ottawa, the authority vested in the Inspectors by statute should be invoked
where negotiation fails to compel the council, upon whom the responsibility
rests to make proper provision for classification where the structural accom-
mo ation is not at present sufficient for that purpose. The Inspector should
require that wings or wards be prepared or erected, expressly designed for
the most favorable classification of youths, who may be committed for a first
offence, or for trifling offences, and for kindred offenders and offences. It may be
difficult, indeed impossible, so to classify as to prevent the thoroughly bad coming
in contact with the comparatively innocent, as that would involve an exact
knowledge, not always obtainable of the character of the youths, and whether
the committal is for a first or subsequent offence, and perhaps such subdivision
as would scarcely be practicable, but wards should be so constructed as to admit
of classification of the different degrees of youthful prisoners, as knowledge of
their character may be obtained.
Re Lunatics.
" In the absence of other accommodation for violent lunatics and those with
homicidal tendencies, it is essential that the gaols should afford accommodation
for these clashes temporarily committed, so that the unfortunate lunatic may not
be thrown with or amongst prisoners committed for crime. The Inspectors should
require such provision to be made, under the authority vested in them by Sec-
tions 23 and 24, Cap. 250, R. S. 0., 1887, in the gaols situate in considerable
centres of population, and in all gaols which (though the committals may be even
few in number) are incapable of affording reasonable privacy to this unfortunate
class of temporary prisoners.
" Further, upon this point instructions should be given to the heads of
asylums and the officers of your department to use all possible expedition in the
transference of persons declared to be lunatics from the gaols to asylums, so that
the stay of these patients in the county gaols may be as short as is consistent with
the procedure required by law to determine their state of mind. Now, that we
have again sufficient accommodation for the lunatic classes, special care must be
taken by your department and by the Superintendents of the asylums to keep the
12
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
gaols as free as possible from lunatic prisoners ; and where a person is duly com-
mitted and certified as a lunatic, that fact should generally be accepted, without
too severe a scrutiny, as sufficient prima facie to warrant an immediate transfer
to some one or other of the asylums. It is true that experience has shewn that
among the cases certified there are some which are either not fit subjects for an
asylum and can receive very little, if any, benefit from treatment there, or are
more properly subjects for almshouses, infirmaries or hospitals, and that they have
been sent up at the instance of the family or friends tired of maintaining them.
Nevertheless, until some other accommodation is afforded the above observations
should be carefully kept in mind.
" Where, from the papers submitted to the department or to the Superintend
ent, a case does not appear to be made out for admission to an asylum, notwith-
standing a committal for that purpose, before refusal to admit it may in some
cases be found desirable that the patient should be visited by the Superintendent
or one of his senior assistants, with a view to a special report, where this course is
practicable. This course may avoid delay and may also tend to make those
charged with the duty of examining the patient more careful both in their
examination and report.
" Before exercising the authority vested in you by statute for compelling
County Councils to take action in the construction of additions to prisons and gaols,
the defects should be pointed out and the improvements desired should be sought
by negotiation and representation. Where this fails, a report should be made to
the Government prior to a formal legal demand being made upon the Councils or
legal proceedings had to enforce the requirements of the Inspectors.
" You will be good to furnish me with a report on the gaols of Toronto*
Hamilton, Ottawa and London on the following points : —
" (1) The number of youthful offenders under 16 years of age committed during
the years 1886 and 1887, giving age, sex, offence, first or subsequent committal or
conviction, distinguishing between those committed for trial and those imprisoned
upon convictions.
" (2) The number of persons committed to these gaols during the same period
as lunatics, giving sex, the number of cases discharged upon hearing, those finally
committed to gaol, those subsequently removed to an asylum, and those either
discharged direct from the prison or removed to an asylum.
" Arthur S. Hardy,
# " Provincial Secretary."

Greatest number confined at. any om time 37 -*il 31
Number of re-committals 19 7 9
Total cost 'of maintaining gaol $8,88405 $4, 124.64 $4,058.91
I instructed Mr. Hayes to make the first inspection of this gaol. A copy of
his report to me is annexed :
"Acting under your instructions I visited the Barrie gaol on the 12th June-
There were twelve males and two females in custody, being the smallest number
of inmates the gaol has contained for three or four y ears. Of these prisoners
nine were vagrants, one had been committed as insane and is an epileptic of long
standin , three were under sentence for illicit distilling, a breach of the Temper-
ance Act and disorderly conduct, respectively, and one was waiting trial for
assault. Almost all the vagrants were old, crippled or otherwise incapable of
working. Some have been in gaol for year, one is blind and another bed-ridden.
These persons should not be in gaol but in a county poor house, as it is not right
to confine them with criminals nor to turn the gaol into a house of refuge and
infirmary. It was stated to me that the County Council, at their coming meet-
ing will discuss the question of establishing a poor house. It is to be hoped that
they will come to the conclusion to found one without delay, so that a stop may
be put to the objectionable practice of sending old, infirm and crippled persons
to gaol for the ' crimes ' of poverty and incapacity for work.
" The gaol was in good order throughout and more care seems to be taken to
keep it in a clean and neat condition than formerly.
" The supply ol water to the gaol ,s not good, as during summer water has
sometimes to be drawn from the bay.
" The food supplies were found to be of good quality.
" The books are properly entered up. The Surgeon's book contains records
of very frequent visits and full instructions."
The second inspection was also made by Mr. Hayes, who reported to me as
under :
" Acting under your instructions, I visited the Barrie gaol on the 9th August'
and in the absence of the gaoler, on leave, went over the premises with the turn-
key. The building and yards were found to be in good order. The Sheriff was
asked to call the attention of the Gaol Committee of the Council to the method
of heating the gaol by stoves, which seems to be unsatisfactory as regards the
amount of heat obtained, while it is unduly expensive. It is probable that it
would be found more economical and more efficient to heat the building by hot
water, or by some other general system.
" Twenty-one male and five female prisoners are in custody, seven of whom
are vagrants, seven are committed for drunkenness three are charged with as-
sault, four with larceny, one with obtaining goods with intent to defraud and
four are charged with insanity. Only one of these latter appears to be a prope

case for a curative institution. Eight of the men were at work wheeling in and
piling wood. The prisoners were all seen.
" New flooring has been laid in several parts op the building and is a great
improvement."
Berlin Gaol.
Prisoners committed during the year. . . .
Greatest number confined at any one time
Number of re-committals
Total cost of maintaining gaol $1,657.49 $1,860.04 $1,809.09
Copies of the reports made to the Government by Dr. O'Reilly upon this
gaol are annexed : —
" The Berlin gaol was inspected by me on the 9th August, There were then
in custody eight males and one female. One of the males was held on the charge
of murder, two for burglary, three for larceny, and two for being drunk and dis-
orderly. The female prisoner was charged with murdering her child.
" The interior of the gaol was found to be in very good order. The yards
were temporarily in a very insecure condition, owing to some repairs being made
to the buildings in them, notwithstanding which I found that the female prisoner
was not locked in her corridor, but was left free to go about the yards as she
chose. The gaoler's attention was called to this grave impropriety, and of course
the remedy was applied."
" The County authorities are making some much-needed improvements about
the exterior of the gaol, notably the replacing of the old wooden fence enclosing
the female airing court by a new brick wall. The manner in which the wall is
being built, however, is not satisfactory, inasmuch as while the main body of the
wall itself is quite sufficient, the low roofs of the kitchen and outbuildings,
which are accessible from the female yard, render the high wall ineffective and
afford an easy means of escape. I called the attention of the County authorities
to this defect, and pointed out how, in my opinion, the difficulty could be easily
and cheaply overcome."
" The Berlin gaol was again inspected by me on the 29th October. There
were then nine male and two female prisoners in custody. One of the males
was waiting trial for murder and one for rape, one was under sentence for
burglary, one for forgery, three for larceny and two for vagrancy. One of the
females was waiting trial for murder and the other was on remand on a similar
charge.
" I found on enquiring for the gaoler that he had been appointed crier of the
court, and consequently his attention was occupied by the court instead of being
at the gaol,and the one turnkey attached to the staff was left alone in charge. With
no less than three prisoners in the gaol charged with murder, and three others
charged with rape, bm^glary and forgery, respectively, the absence of the gaoler
on other duty was highly reprehensible. With only the gaoler and turnkey to at-
tend to this gaol, the staff is not so large that either member of it can be spared
for outside duties. All their attention is required to the duties pertaining to their
positions in the gaol. %
" The alterations to the female airing yard which were in progress at the time
of my previous visit, and in respect of which I made some suggestions, have been
satisfactorily completed, and that part of the premises is now in a very secure
condition.
44
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
" A great want in this gaol is a supply of iron bedsteads. The wooden settles
upon which prisoners sleep are very unsatisfactory. It is impossible to keep them
as clean as they ought to be, and they are behind the age in every respect. A
complete refitting, with iron turn-up bedsteads, would be a very great improve-
ment.
" A very important prisoner was in gaol whom the authorities required to be
kept entirely apart from any other prisoner. A separate ward was therefore
assigned to her, and in order that she might be thoroughly isolated it was also
necessary that the ward above the one in which she was placed should be kept
empty also. It therefore required the exclusion of all other prisoners from two of
the corridors to insure the complet3 seclusion of this one prisoner. The reason
of this is that the gaol bring heated with hot air, the ducts are so arranged
that sounds are easily conveyed, and communications can be had almost from
any one part to any other part of the building. I, myself, in testing this peculiarity
was able to converse fr m the cellar, in which the furnace is placed, with a
person in the corridor without difficulty. I also found that the furnace was so
placed in contiguity with the floor timbers as to be exceedingly unsafe ; so much
so that the gaol authorities asked my leave to open a new door in the wall of the
gaol as a means of escape for the turnkey and his family from their rooms in the
not improbable contingency of the building taking lire from this furnace.
"I instructed the Sheriff to allow the new door to be opened, on condition
that the County should put up a secure iron grating at a point which I indicated,
so that the safety of the gaol would not be affected by the change. It seems
absolutely necessary that some steps should be taken to give security from fire in
connection with this furnace, and also to prevent the easy communication between
the different corridors as al present.
" I would strongly recommend an entire reconstruction of the heating arrange-
ments, and that hot water be substituted for hot air. The pipes for hot water can
be run through the building wherever they are required without the objection-
able features now existing.
" The gaol was cleanly and well kept, and, with the exceptions I have named,
Lte general condition was satisfactory."
Belleville Gaol.

Greatest number confined at any one time
Number of re-committals
Total cost of maintaining gaol 82,138.00 82,161.60 82,204.15
Copies of the reports made by me to the Government upon this gaol are
annexed :
" I inspected the Belleville 'gaol on the :5rd May. There were then in custody
eighteen male and thirteen female prisoners. Of the former, two were fully
certified to as being insane, two were under sentence for burglary, one for forgery,
two for assault, one for wife-beating, two for keeping houses of ill-fame, three
for larceny and five for vagrancy, drunkenness, etc. All the women were under
short sentences for vagrancy, etc.
" The gaol was in excellent order, the books properly kept, and the discipline
and the rules and regulations carefully observed. The improvements and
additional accommodation required, to which I have referred in former reports, are
being attended to. The Gaol Committee have also adopted the suggestion to
build a residence for the gaoler outside of, but immediately adjacent to, the gajl

premises, with a view to utilizing the rooms he now occupies in the gaol proper
for the accommodation of prisoners. This new house, the walls of which are
already erected, will be commodious and well adapted in every respect. The
refitting of the rooms in the gaol for the use of prisoners will require a good deal
of consideration and planning in order to make provision for proper classification,
but the work of making the necessary division should not involve any great
difficulty or expenditure.
" The classification for each sex to be aimed at is as follows : — (1) Lunatics
temporarily committed to gaol. (2) Juvenile offenders committed for the first time
for trivial offences. (3) Old and infirm people who may be committed under the
provisions of the Vagrant Act. (4) Prisoners committed for default of sufficient
distress or non-payment of a pecuniary penalty. (5) Those awaiting trial.
(6) Prisoners convicted of serious offences. (7) Those committed foi capital offences.
" The need for enlarged accommodation is apparent from the fact that the
commitments during the current year, up to the time of my inspection, number
one hundred and nineteen, whilst those in the corresponding period of last year
only numbered eighty -three. Nine of the male prisoners have to sleep on the
floors of the different corridors.
" The Sheriff was requested to call the attention of the Gaol Committee of
the Council to my minute in this matter, with a view to the necessary steps being
taken to have plans of specified requirements submitted."
" My second inspection of the Belleville gaol was made on the 25th July.
There were then seventeen males and five females in custody.
"The gaol and premises were strictly clean and well kept, but as formerly noted
lack accommodation for the number of prisoners usually confined. For instance,
on the day of my visit there were seventeen male inmates, but only twelve cells
available for them. Commendable progress is, however, being made with
the scheme for providing the required room. The new house for the gaoler is
nearly ready for occupation. It is well situated and substantially built. So soon
as the gaoler vacates his present quarters they can, at a very moderate outlay, be
converted into wards for prisoners, which will not only add room, but will admit
of the much desired classification of prisoners. I understand that the Committee
in charge are thoroughly impressed with the necessity for completing the gaol
improvements, and that so soon as the premises can be refitted the plans will be
submitted and the necessary work ordered.
" The books were properly entered up and there was evidence of strict atten-
tion to duty on the part of the gaoler and turnkey."
"I made a third inspection of the Belleville gaol on the 19th November. It
was made principally with the object of meeting the Gaol Committee of the
Council for the purpose of determining as to the best plan of utilizing the rooms
formerly occupied by the gaoler. A minute inspection of this part of the pre-
mises shewed it to be fully available for the accommodation of prisoners of certain
classes, as previously intimated, and that but little expenditure would be required
for its rearrangement. The additional space afforded consists of one extensive cor-
ridor in the original gaol premises, which will be used exclusively for prisoners
committed under the Vagrant Act, and two of the other apartments, after properly
securing the windows, will be for the use of lunatics temporarily committed.
These apartments are commodious, well lighted and ventilated, and their general
sanitary condition such as to insure good and healthful accommodation under all
circumstances. Barred windows were arranged for in the basement connected
with these apartments, and for barred doors leading to the basement.

" In order to utilize to the full extent the new corridor, which overlooks the
female airing and working yard, arrangement was also made for the introduction
of cast-iron blinds (reversed) on all the windows, so that while sunlight and air
could be freely admitted, the view of the yard referred to would be intercepted.
" The gaoler's residence, which was built during last season, has been in occu-
pation for some time. It is a substantial and commodious building and reflects
credit upon the authorities having the work in charge.
" There were in custody fourteen males and two females, who were as well
classified as the structural arrangements would admit of. When the improvements
arranged for are completed, this difficulty of classification will cease to exist."

Copies of the reports made by Dr. O'Reilly to the Government upon this gaol

" The Brantford gaol was inspected by me on the 3rd August. There were
then eleven male and two female prisoners in custody. One of the males w7as
under sentence for rape, one for larceny, one for robbery, one for violation of the
Canada Temperance Act, and the remainder for drunkenness and vagrancy. Of
the females, one was sentenced for larceny, and the other for neglect of her child.
" The gaol was in good order in all respects."
"I made a second inspection of the Brantford gaol on the 16th November,
on which date there were eleven males and two females in custody. None of the
prisoners were of much importance with the exception of one, a negro, charged
with aggravated assault on his wife. What I could gather from this prisoner
would indicate that he is insane, ami if I was correctly informed, he had formerly
been an inmate of a lunatic asylum. He had only been committed to gaol the
night before my visit, and the gaol surgeon had not yet had sufficient opportunity
for observing the case.
'• Two new stoves are very much needed in this gaol. I consider the build-
ing to be in a very dangerous condition while the old stoves continue in use, and
trust that the sheriff will see they are replaced with n -\v ones without any delay.
" The gaol in other respects was found to be in excellent condition."

" On this occasion I enquired into the particulars of an escape which had
previously been reported to me. It was that of Samuel Preston, a man who had
been committed on the 3rd March for trial, charged, tirst with assaulting his
employer with an axe and leaving him for dead in the bush, and second with
then making a violent assault upon the wife of his employer. The injuries to
both these people were so severe that the trial was postponed at the spring
assizes, it being then doubtful whether either of them would survive. I was
informed that the man who was attacked is likely to recover, but the woman,
while regaining her physical health, has received so great a nervous shock that
she has not yet recovered her reason.
" The man charged with committing these terrible crimes, instead of being
kept with that rigid care which the case demanded, was allowed by the gaoler to
have what he calls the freedom of the yard. That is to say, the corridor door
was left open and the prisoner allowed free access to the yard during the day, and
of course he availed himself of his opportunity by taking a table and bench from
the corridor into the yard, which enabled him to scale the wall. This took place
in the middle of the afternoon of the 22nd July. There is no reasonable excuse
or even palliation for the conduct of either the gaoler or turnkey. The prisoner's
escape resulted from the grossest neglect and carelessness on the part of those
officers. The sheriff adopted all reasonable means within his power for the
recovery of the prisoner, the town and its neighborhood being dilligently searched
by a large number of people immediately after the escape was discovered. The
sheriff also offered a reward of $200 for the recovery of the prisoner, and had
notices extensively circulated to all police departments and points where it was
thought assistance could be obtained. Up to the time of my inspection, however,
there had been no satisfactory result."

I instructed Mr. Hayes to make the first inspection of this gaol. A copy of
his report to me is annexed : —
" In accordance with your instructions I made an inspection of the Brock-
ville gaol on the 5th June. It was then in charge of the turnkey, as the gaoler
was away on leave. The building was in good order throughout. It would be an
improvement were the gaol to be supplied with water from the town waterworks
instead of from wells as at present.
" The food supplied to the prisoners was examined, and its quality found to
be good. A sufficient quantity of gaol clothing is on hand.
" The books are properly kept. No punishments have been recorded for
some years. The gaol surgeon makes frequent visits.
" The prisoners numbered twelve, all males. Of these four were lunatics and
two idiots. Of the others, two were awaiting trial for embezzlement and rape
respectively, three were under sentence for vagrancy, and one for breach of the
Canada Temperance Act. The prisoners were all seen and no complaints were
made by them."
The second inspection was made by me and I reported as under : —

A copy of the report made to the Government by Dr. O'Reilly upon this
gaol is annexed : —
" I inspected the Cayuga gaol on the 3rd August. The prisoners then in
custody numbered six, namely, five males and one female. One of the male
prisoners was waiting trial for murder and arson, one for shooting, one for seduc-
tion and one for embezzlement, and one was under sentence for assault. The
female prisoner had been sentenced for vagrancy.
" The prisoner waiting trial for murder and arson is an Italian and speaks
English very imperfectly. He has now become insane and is suffering from
violent mania. He had, a few days previous to my visit, made an attaek upon
the turnkey, which resulted in a rather serious injury to that officer. I had an
interview with the gaol surgeon about the case, and, as a consequence, gave in-
structions to have the necessary papers made out with a view to the transfer of
the prisoner to the Hamilton asylum.
" The gaol was exceedingly clean and tidy and well kept in all respects."
Dr. O'Reilly instructed Mr. Nicholson to make the second inspection of this
gaol. He reported to Dr. O'Reilly as under : —
" Acting under your instructions, I made an inspection of the Cayuga gaol
on the 5th October.
" There were three male prisoners in custody ; no females. Two were under
sentence for assault and one for larceny."
" The gaol in all parts was in admirable order and the books were found to
be entered up properly."

" Acting under your instructions I visited the Cornwall gaol on the 5th June.
The inmates numbered six, two males and four females. All the latter were
charged with being insane and dangerous to be at large, but only two of them
were fit subjects for a curative asylum, the other two being old women in a state
ofcaronic insanity. The two male prisoners were both charged with larceny.
One was a young lad who would probably be benefited by a term in the Reforma-
tory, as he had apparently no one to look after him.

" The commitments to the gaol dining the currency of the official year shew-
so far a decrease, and but few of them are for serious offences. Many of the
commitments are for breaches of the Canada Temperance Act ; the rest for vag-
rancy, larceny, etc.
" 1 should have liked to have seen a little more neatness and order through-
out the gaol, also in the way the beds were made up. The substitution of proper
iron bedsteads for the present wooden ones would be an improvement. The ven-
tilation of the gaol is not good, and has lately been referred to by the gaol sur-
geon in his minute book. The Sheriff was requested to bring these matters to
the notice of the Gaol Committee of the County Council.
" The books are fairly well kept. No punishments have been recorded since
the last inspection. The gaol surgeon makes freqent visits."
A copy of the report made by me is annexed : —
" The second inspection of the Cornwall gaol during the official year was
made by me on the 31st July. A male and a female prisoner were in custody.
The former was charged with horse-stealing and the latter with violating the
Temperance Act.
" The premises were clean and tidy, but damp and musty. Recent altera-
tions do not seem to have improved the gaol in this respect, and in the event of
any number of prisoners being confined in it at a given time, the wards wTould
become very close and foul.
" I found the books in ordinary form."

Instructions were given by me to Mr. Hayes to make the first inspection of
this gaol. A copy of his report is annexed : —
" In accordance with directions, I visited the Cobourg gaol on the 9th April.
Eight men and two women were in custody. Three had been committed as in-
sane, but one was an old woman, apparently quiet and harmless. Of the others,
three were under sentence for vagrancy, two for larceny and one for assault. A
boy was also under sentence to the Reformatory. The gaoler is to be commended
for keeping this boy and also another lad sentenced for the first time apart from
the other prisoners. The prisoners were all seen and no complaints %vere made
by them.
" The gaol was in fair order generally, except the water closets, which are
dirty and bad smelling. I believe it would be a good thing to close up these
places and to substitute earth closets. The gaoler should have these closets
cleaned and whitewashed at once and not wait until the time of the general
spring cleaning."
A copy of the report made by me is annexed : —
" I made an inspection of the Cobourg gaol to-day. Eight males and one
female were in custody. Two of the males and the female had been committed as
insane ; the others were charged with larceny, drunkenness, etc.

A copy of the report made by Dr. O'Reilly to the Government upon this
gaol is annexed : —
" My first inspection of the Chatham gaol for the current year was made on
the 2nd August. There were then in custody eight male and five female prisoners.
Two of the men were awaiting trial for obtaining money under false pretence and
forgery respectively, two were insane, two were under sentences for breaches of the
Temperance Act, one for larceny, and one for drunkenness. Of the women one
was insane, ond the others were under sentence for larceny, trespass and violation
of the Temperance Act.
" The County Council have gone to considerable expense lately in making
improvements, and the gaol is in a much more satisfactory condition than at the
time of my last visit. There is one point however which has not been improved
and where improvement is greatly needed, namely, the water supply.
" The officials of the gaol complain that there is only one well, and that ia
almost dry. There is also one small cistern to supply the closets. Under these
circumstances there is at times a great scarcity of water. I trust this will be
remedied in due time."
The .second visit was made by Mr. Nicholson, of the Inspector's Department,
who reported to Dr. O'Rielly as follows : —
"As directed by you I inspected the Chatham gaol on the 28th September
when I found in custody eight men and three women. Four of the former were
under sentence as follows : Larceny, one ; placing obstructions on railway, one ;
assault, one ; felony, one. One was waiting trial on a charge of neglecting to
support his family. The other male prisoners were drunks and vagrants.
" The three females were under sentence one for destroying property, one for
felony and one for larceny.
" The books were examined and found to be properly entered up.
" The general condition of the gaol was very satisfactory."

" I made a statutory inspection of the Goderich gaol on the 9th August, and
there found seven men and two women in confinement, Of the former, one was
insane, three were vagrants, two were under sentence for assault, and one was
committed for contempt of court. The two females were vagrants.
" Much inconvenience is experienced in the management of this gaol owing
to its size being inadequate to the wants of the County. There are three corri-
dors for males and one for females. The first named will accommodate nine
prisoners and the latter three, while during the year there have been in custody
at one time as many as fifteen males and seven females. It is easy to see that it
is imrossible to accommodate so many prisoners in this gaol, and that any attempt
at proper classification is quite out of the question.
"So far back as the year 1878, my predecesssor in office called attention to the
overcrowded condition of the gaol, and a requisition was made upon the County
Council, under the terms of the Inspection Act, to appoint a special committee
to confer with the Inspector on the subject. For some reason the Inspector was
not able to be present at the time appointed, and the Council postponed the con-
sideration of the matter until their December session, when it seems to have been
allowed to drop. I am strongly of opinion that early action will be necessary in
regard to this feature of the gaol."
Dr. O'Reilly instructed Mr. Nicholson, of the Inspector's Department, to visit
this gaol. He reported to Dr. O'Reilly as under : —
" As authorized by you I made an inspection of the Goderich gaol on the 2nd
October. The prisoners in custody were ten males and two females. Two of the
former were under sentence for contempt of court, one for larceny, and two for
vagrancy; three were waiting trial charged with passing counterfeit money, and the
other two were insane. One of the females was insane and the other a vagrant.
" The condition of the gaol, as regards cleanliness and order, was very satis-
factory. The gaoler complained of the dampness of his quarters. The books are
well kept."

" The gaol was in a very satisfactory condition of cleanliness and order."
" I made another inspection of the Guelph gaol on the 29th October, when
there were six males and two females in custody.
" Of the male prisoners one was waiting trial for murder, one for horse stealing,
one was under sentence for larceny, one for illegal distilling, and one for drunken-
ness, and one was on remand charged with perjury. Of the females, one was
waiting- trial for murder and the other was a vagrant.
" The gaol was in its usual condition of good order and satisfactory in all
respects."

Copies of the reports made upon this gaol by Dr. O'Reilly to the Govern-
ment are annexed : —
• "The Hamilton gaol wa9 inspected by me on the 20th July, when there were
thirty-nine male and eleven female prisoners in custody.
Of the male prisoners there were waiting trial, one for threatening, one for
manslaughter, two for larceny, one for trespass, one for indecent assault, and one
for house-breaking ; the others were under sentence for vagrancy, drunkenness,
etc. Amongst the male prisoners were five boys under 14 years of age. One of
the female prisoners was charged with manslaughter and one with larceny, and
nine were vagrants, etc.
" The classification of the prisoners on this occasion was quite satisfactory,
the different classes being kept by themselves in accordance with the gaol
regulations.
" The gaoler complained of the utter idleness in which the prisoners were
kept for want of out-door work. There was no wood to cut and no stone to break,
and with the exception of the little work connected with keeping the gaol in
order, the prisoners have really nothing to do. The county authorities are the
only ones who can regulate this matter, and they do not appear to do their duty
in this respect."
" My second inspection of the Hamilton gaol was made on the 25th October,
There were then thirty-three men and seven women in custody, none of whom,
however, were prisoners of much importance. A few were under sentence for
petty offences, but most of them were drunks and vagrants. There was one man
committed as insane, but who had not been certified for removal to the asylum.
One of the females was in custody for attempting suicide ; she is probably insane.
" One prisoner, a boy fourteen years of age, had been sentenced to five
months in the gaol for assaulting girls. His sentence had nearly expired at the
time of my visit, or I would have endeavoured to have had him transferred to
the Reformatory for Boys under R. S. C. chap. 183, sec. 26. As it was, it did not
seem worth while to do so for so short a time. It seems a sad pity that a boy of
this age should be sentenced to five months in a common gaol, there to spend his
time in idleness and also in solitary confinement, or else be allowed to herd with
such criminals as chance might throw in his way, instead of being sent to the
Reformatory where he would spend his time in school or in acquiring a knowledge
of some useful occupation. I cannot help regarding this matter as a very serious
one, in view of the excellent provisions in our laws for meeting just such cases."

I instructed Mr. Hayes to make the first inspection of this gaol. A copy
of his report to me is annexed : —
"As instructed by you, I made an inspection of the Kingston gaol on the 6th
June. It was then in its usual excellent condition, the utmost cleanliness and
neatness being everywhere observable. The books, too, are well kept. Several
punishments have been recorded within the last few months, but all according to
the regulations.
" Twenty-one prisoners, thirteen males, eight females, were in custody. Only
two of them were charged with serious crimes, viz., the passing of counterfeit bills.
Four were of unsound mind. The rest, with the exception of a man and his wife
committed for breaches of the Canada Temperance Act, were charged with
larceny, vagrancy, drunkenness, etc., and were all under sentence. The prisoners
were all seen and no complaints received. Several of them were at work on the
court house grounds.
" It would be a great improvement were the county council to provide iron
bedsteads throughout the cells."
My report upon the second inspection was as under : —
" An inspection of the Kingston gaol was made by me on the 1st August.
Sixteen males and five females were in custody. Of the males, two were com-
mitted as insane, two were waiting trial for passing counterfeit money, and the
others were under short sentence for drunkenness, etc. Of the females, one is
certified to be insane, and the others are vagrants.
" I found the gaol in its usual excellent condition, every ward being neat and
clean. There was evidence of strict attention on the part of the gaoler and
turnkeys to their respective duties.
The books and records of all descriptions are well and neatly kept."

Copies of the reports made to the Government by Dr. O'Reilly upon this gaol
are annexed : —
" I inspected the London gaol on the 31st July. The prisoners then in cus-
tody numbered thirty-seven, twenty eight males and nine females. Two of the
male prisoners were held on a charge of receiving stolen goods, one for horse-
stealing, one for felonious assault, two for fraud, one for assaulting a constable,
two for larceny, and two for violation of the Canada Temperance Act, two were
insane, and the others were under sentence for drunkenness and vagrancy. Of
the females, three were insane and waiting removal to the asylum, five were
vagrants, and one was undergoing sentence for drunkenness.
" The gaol was in very good order — as much so as could be reasonably
expected from the character of the building, which, as has often been pointed out
before, needs a great deal of repair and alteration to make it suitable for its pur-
pose. The impossibility of a proper classification of prisoners is very apparent in
this gaol. In fact, while it may have been adequate to the wants of the locality
When it was built many years a^o, the growth of the County of Middlesex and

the City of London have been so great as to leave the gaol far behind the require-
ments of the present population.
"A death which occurred in the gaol recently brought this question of
accommodation very prominently forward, and on the 25th May I made the fol-
lowing memorandum, which was laid before the Count}- Council at its summer
session, and, as I was informed by the clerk, was laid over for further consid-
eration.
" ' The verdict of the coroner's jury upon the body of Keturah Harrison, who
died in the London gaol on the 7th May, has brought into prominence the fact
— of which I have long been aware but which I have not pressed upon tin-
attention of the County Council — that there is not and never has been any
proper hospital accommodation provided in the London gaol for sick prisoners.
" ' The fact that the gaol authorities have been able (but with great incon-
venience) to meet in some sort of way such emergencies as they occur, had led
me to hold the matter in abeyance, trusting that in the course of time the County
Council would see tit to take the necessary steps to remedy the deficiency,
iially as 1 am aware that their attention has been called to it from time to
time, i cannot, however, allow this matter to rest in abeyance any longer, - i
far as this department is concerned. I feel it my duty to efficiently call the
attention of the proper authorities to the subject, so that in future the blame for
the state of things which exists in the London gaol may rest on the right
shoulders.
" ' I am induced to take this step at this time as it is freely stated in some
quarters that it is because of my remissness proper hospital accommodation has
not before been provided by the County Council, and that there is no hope of a
remedy being applied until s.ome one armed with authorit\T orders the necessary
accommodation to be provided.
" ' I am aware that on more than one occasion it has been necessary to remove
prisoners under sentence from the gaol to the city hospital for that treatment
which should be provided in a proper gaol hospital without adopting this extra-
ordinary means to procure it. So late as in February last such a case was
reported to me by the sheriff! It has been the practice in the gaol to use the
debtor's ward when occasion required as an hospital. This, when no debtor is
confined in the gaol, is practicable and partially meets the difficulty, but only
partially, and, at any rate, when there is a debtor in the gaol it becomes neces-
sary to clear out one of the common wards and make use of that for hospital
purposes, this entails great inconvenience in the arrangements of the gaol, the
crowding of the prisoners and danger to their health and safety.
" ' I am of opinion that the difficulty can be met without a very serious draft
upon the resources of the Council in this way : — The quarters now occu-
pied by the gaoler could, I am inclined to think, be made quite suitable for
hospital purposes if they were vacated by that official. This would necessitate
other provision being made for a residence for the gaoler, and this could be done
upon the grounds belonging to the gaol, outside the building itself, at a compara-
tively small cost, and would be satisfactory in every way, as it is not necessary
that the gaoler should actually reside within the gaol. As I see the matter at
present I think this the best solution that can be arrived at, but it may be that
upon further discussion a better plan can be devised.
i trust that the County Council will see that the time has arrived when
the gaol of so important a county as Middlesex, and which has also to accommo-
date prisoners from a large ami growing city such as London, cannot be allowed
to remain the same as it was a quarter of a century ago, under such greatly
changed conditions as those which exist at present.' "

" I made a second inspection of the London gaol on the 9th October, when I
found 32 males and 7 females.
" This gaol is as well kept as the condition of the building and the accommo-
dation for the prisoners will admit. The gaoler and matron are thoroughly-
efficient.
" I have nothing to add respecting the condition to what was set forth in my
last report. The gaol remains unchanged."

Instructions were given by me to Mr. Mann of my office to make the first
inspection of this gaol. A copy of his report to me is appended : —
" In accordance with your directions I made an inspection of the Lindsay
gaol. There were five men and three women in confinement who had been charged
with the following offences, viz.: — Males, assault, one ; drunkenness, one ; vagrancy,
one ; lunac}', two. Females, vagrancy, one ; insanity, one ; inmate of house of ill-
fame.
" The gaol is in a satisfactory state of repair and cleanliness. An improve-
ment, however, is highly necessary in connection with the ventilating shaft from
the sewer, which, at present, has its escape at the surface of the ground in the
gaol yard. The smell arising from this cannot be other than unhealthy and
unpleasant. At a comparatively small cost an iron pipe could be connected with
this shaft and carried up the gaol wall, thereby doing away with the nuisance.
There should also be some more effectual way of flushing the sewer than is at
present provided. Attention has been called to these defects on a previous occa-
sion, but no action has been taken.
" Several of the inmates of the gaol were of a class more fitted for a poor
house. This is especially noticeable as regards one woman who was suffering
and helpless from old age and who was a great hindrance to the officials in the
proper carrying out of the gaol regulations."
A copy of my report of the second inspection is annexed : —
" The Lindsay gaol was inspected by me on the 22nd August. Five males and
three females were in custody. Of the males one had been committed as a luna-
tic and the others for assault, etc. The females had been committed for vagrancy.
" The premises were in fair order. Wood was being cut in the yard and
some disorder was consequently noticeable. An overflow tank, formerly suggested,
has been built in the yard and connected with the main sewer, and this arrange-
ment provides sufficiently for the flushing of it.
" The books are properly kept."

A copy of the report made by me to the Government upon this gaol is an-
nexed : —
" I made an inspection of the L'Orignal gaol on the Gth October and saw all
the prisoners then in custody.
" Two of the males had been committed as lunatics, one was undergoing a
sentence of six months for larceny and three were awaiting trial — one charged
with manslaughter, one wTith rape and one with burglary.
" In view of the serious nature of the crimes with which the three latter
prisoners are accused, I am of opinion that the gaoler should have assistance while
they remain under his charge, as should any determined effort be made to escape,
the gaoler, while alone, would have difficulty in controlling them.
" The Sheriff lias therefore been requested to employ a suitable man to act
as turnkey while these prisoners are in custody.
' I found the gaol clean and in good order. Bath tubs have been supplied
and conveniently placed since the date of my last visit. These much-needed
conveniences will place the gaoler in possession of the means to carry out the
rules in regard to the regular bathing of prisoners and add greatly to the comfort
of the gaol."

A copy of the report made by Dr. O'Reilly to the Government upon this
gaol is annexed : —
" I visited the Milton gaol on the 26th April, when seven male prisoners were
confined therein.
" Five of the prisoners were vagrants, who are old habitues of the gaol, one
was committed on a charge of larceny and one for unlawfully carrying a revolver.
"The whole number of commitments to this gaol from the 1st October to the
date of inspection is 423, 397 being for vagrancy, nine for drunkenness, fourteen
for various minor offences and three for insanity. It will therefore be seen that
this gaol chiefly serves the purpose of a poor house for the county. If the poor
had been provided for elsewhere than in the gaol, the number of commitments
for <ix months would have been twenty-six instead of 423.
" The gaol was found to be in its usual excellent condition. It would be
difficult to conceive the possibility of a gaol being kept in better order than this
one is. As I have previously repeatedly pointed out, a gaol kitchen is very
much needed here. The cooking for the prisoners has to be done in one of the
wards or else in the same kitchen in which the cooking is done for the gaoler's
family. Neither of these is proper and it is to be hoped that the County Council
will not delay longer in having this very obvious necessity supplied."
Dr. O'Reilly instructed Mr. Hayes to make the second inspection. A cop}r of
his report is annexed : —
Acting under your instructions I visited the Milton gaol on the evening of
the 19th September. There were then only two men in custody, one under sen-
tence for burglary and the other for a breach of the Crooks Act.
" The gaol was in excellent order throughout.
"The books of record are well kept. There is only one entry in the gaol

surgeon's book since May last. It is stated, however, by the gaoler, that the sur-
geon comes whenever he is needed. He has been requested to record every visit
in the future."

Instructions were given by me to Mr. Hayes to inspect this gaol. A copy of
his report is annexed : —
" Acting under your directions, I made an inspection of the Napanee gad
on the 7th June. I was glad to rind it empty and to learn that it had been in
that condition since the 16th May ; also that from the 4th to the 16th May only
one prisoner had been in custody, and that previous to then the gaol population
was but twro. The total commitments to date shew a falling off as compared
with the corresponding period of last year, and so far only two prisoners have
been committed charged with serious offences.
" The gaol was clean and generally in good order. In one of the wards some
gaol clothing was hanging up, instead of being put in the stores room with the
other clothing, and the practice of covering the tables in the wards with news-
papers is not a tidy one. The wrall in one corner of ward No. 4 is very much dis-
colored, owing to leakage from the chimney. The County Council should have
this looked to. #
" Such food supplies as there were in store were examined and found to be
of good quality."

Copies of the reports made by me to the Government upon this gaol are an-
nexed : —
" The Ottawa gaol was inspected by me on the 20th June. On the morning
of my visit there were twenty-three males and thirteen females in custody. Five
males had been committed as insane, five were under sentence for larceny and the
others for vagrancy and minor offences. One female was detained as a lunatic,
two were under sentence for keeping houses of ill-fame, and two for being in-
mates of the same and eight for vagrancy. The male prisoners who were physi-
cally fit for labour were employed, ten in breaking stone and the rest in cleaning,
cooking and indoor work.
" I found the premises well kept, and that the rules and regulations were
observed so far as could be with the present structural arrangements. The
closets, however, were not in good condition. They require to be refitted and
renewed.
" In many respects this gaol is unfitted for the accommodation of the prison
population. The entrance could scarcely be more inconvenient and unsafe, as
prisoners are frequently handed over into the charge of the turnkey in consider-
able numbers after dark, and in order to obey gaol rules, which is essential, he
has to receive them in a small entrance porch, Q\ by 7 feet. When the turnkey
58
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
is alone with ten or twelve prisoners, any of them, if so disposed, might do him
bodily harm. Reference has been made in former reports to the necessity for the
entrance to the gaol being made through the office, which would remove the ap-
prehension and disabilities involved in using the present one.
"The basement of the gaol contains the kitchen and boiler rooms, and on the
ground floor are the dining room, workshop, bath room and live punishment cells
on the north side of the building. On the next or second fiat there are on the
south side twenty cells where the remanded prisoners and those waiting trial in
the superior courts are kept, and on the north side there are ten large cells. This
ward is used as a chapel, but no prisoners have of late been kept on this side, as
the cells have been required for store rooms, clothes rooms, etc., and in one the
prisoners change their clothes on conviction. On the next or third flat the cells
are the same in number and dimensions and those on the south side are used for
sentenced prisoners, and the large cells on the north side for lunatics and civil
prisoners.
" The two remaining or upper wards are like the other two and are occupied
by the female prisoners, the one on the south side being reserved for those under
sentence and those on remand and those who can be employed in domestic work.
The north ward is kept for the insane who may be temporarily committed and
for prisoners who may be under sentence for minor offences. Of course, under
such structural conditions no reasonable classification can be made, more especially
in the female section of the prison, where only two wards are provided. There
young girls are herded together with women matured in vice, such as keepers of
houses of ill-fame and others of like character, and I am assured that in many
eases young girls have started out on the most criminal and dissolute courses of
life after associations formed while temporarily incarcerated for trifling offences
and ultimately have graduated as matured criminals.
" The arrangement and sub-division of the wards for the males, in view of
the larger number usually confined therein, afford very little, if any better means
of classification, and in both cases such alterations should be made as would pro-
vide for the accommodation and isolation of at least the following classes of both
male and female prisoners: — (I) Lunatics temporarily committed to gaol. (2)
Juvenile offenders committed for a first or second time for trivial offences.
(3) Old or infirm people who may be committed under the provisions of the Vag-
rant Act. (4) Prisoners committed for default of sufficient distress or sureties or
for non-payment of a pecuniary penalty. (5) Persons waiting trial. (6) Prison-
ers convicted of second offences. (7) Persons committed for capital offences. (8)
A separate apartment or corridor to be used as a reception room where prisoners
could be kept until they are cleaned and their clothing changed according to
the requirements.
" An examination of the gaol building appeared to shew that in order to ac-
complish these improvements satisfactorily, two plans may fairly be considered.
First, the building of a residence for the gaoler separate from the present struc-
ture, and using the space at present occupied by him for the accommodation of
prisoners, and (second) to construct walls to divide the present wards through the
centre of each of them from the ground floor to the top storey of the building.
The latter plan would involve the building of two walls on each side of the gaol,
between which a central stairway would be erected to commuicate with each fiat. If
this plan were carried out, a gaol population of about the present number would be *
fairly well provided for, but in the event of any considerable increase the accom-
modation would be insufficient. The former plan would make ample room and
would not involve very great expenditure over and above the outlay for the
gaoler's house.
59
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
" The adoption of some plan, however, to meet the necessities of the case is
imperative, and the Sheriff has been requested to call the attention of the proper
authorities to this report for the purpose of secui'ing immediate action in making
the required alterations.
" I made another inspection of the Ottawa gaol on the '3rd October. On
that date there were forty-four prisoners in custody, twenty -five males and nine-
teen females.
" By a reference to the records of the gaol I found that there had been com-
mitted during the year ending 30th September, 1887, 632 prisoners, and for the
year ending 30th September last, there were 715 committments, shewing an
increase of 83 for the latter year.
" This large increase confirms the opinion, formerly reported, as to the neces-
sity for such increased accommodation as would admit of a fuller classification of
prisoners being made ; and in view of the instructions received in regard to urging
municipal councils to make such provision where required, renewed representa-
tions will be made to the County Council in relation to the condition of
this gaol and its requirements in this regard.
" The growing importance of the City of Ottawa as a centre of population
also points to the necessity for increased gaol accommodation. Indeed there can
be no reasonable grounds upon which to base an estimate that the necessities of
the case would not be considerably greater in future years.
" A step in the right direction has been made in placing iron bedsteads in the
cells, and the upper ward on the male side has been fuiTiished with twenty new
iron fixtures hung to the wall. They are substantially made and in every
respect answer their purpose well, and no delay should now occur in placing a
similar bedstead in each cell, as the expense cannot be very great.
" As formerly stated, the female prisoners have all to be congregated in two
upper wards, and as no divisions exist in the gaol stairway, no other ward can be
utilized for their accommodation, even in event of their being unoccupied, with-
out prejudice to the complete isolation of the male from the female prisoners.
" I found the gaol clean and tidy, and the classification of the prisoners was
the best that could be made under the circumstances. The books were in a
proper state and well kept."
" I again visited the Ottawa Gaol on the 7th November, for the purpose of
keeping an appointment previously made with the warden of the county and the
chairman and committee in charge of the public buildings, to meet them to deter-
mine on the alterations and improvements necessary in the gaol to secure greater
accommodation for the classification of prisoners as alluded to in previous
inspections.
" Two plans were discussed, either of which, if adopted, would meet the pre-
sent necessities. The first was to divide the four corridors and thoroughly isolate
each ward by the erection of stairways in the centre, connecting with the several
divisions. This arrangement would for the time being provide for the proper
classification and reasonable accommodation of the average number of prisoners
committed to this gaol, but should its population increase in the future in the
same ratio as it has during the past two or three }Tears, the contemplated altera-
tion would not suffice for a very extended period.
" The second proposition was to build a residence for the gaoler outside of the
present structure, but contiguous thereto, and utilize the rooms he now occupies
for the accommodation of prisoners. In view of the ample provision made in this
part of the building for the security of prisoners by barred windows, strength o
60
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
walls, etc., this arrangement appears to have many advantages, both from
economical and sanitary considerations.
" It was therefore agreed that the course of procedure most likely to ensure
satisfactory results, would be for the committee to report at the December meet-
ing of the council in favour of the employment of a competent architect to prepare
plans and estimates of the required alterations for submission at the January
meeting of the council, with a view to adopting that plan which . is the most
economical and best adapted to accomplish the object aimed at.
" On the day of this visit there were twenty-four male and sixteen female
prisoners in custody. The gaol was found to be in good order and well kept.
The classification of the prisoners was as good as could be made under the existing
circumstances."

At the request of Dr. O'Reilly I made the first inspection of this gaol. A
copy of my report to the Government is annexed : — !j
<: I visited the Owen Sound gaol on the 28th March. The prisoners then in
custody were twenty-two males and four females. Of the males, two had been
committed as ' insane, and three for larceny, one was under sentence to the
Central Prison for a like otfence, one had been committed for contempt of court,
one lor creating a disturbance in a house of worship, one was waiting trial for
indecent assault, and thirteen were under sentence for vagrancy. Of the females,
three had been committed as insane and one as a vagrant.
" The premises were found to be in fair order in view of the limited room and
poor accommodation which this gaol affords. In the upper corridors on both sides
there is no ventilation except by opening the windows, and in one of these cor-
ridors where there were a number of old men confined, the prison air was very
close and offensive. If a ventilator were placed on the roof and openings made
through the concrete and sheet-iron ceilings, the defect would be remedied.
" The locks referred to in a previous report have not been replaced ; they are
in a very defective condition. The sheriff was therefore requested to call the
special attention of the committee of the council in charge of the gaol to this
matter, and to point out the necessity for having the locks at once put in order.
" The washing of clothes has to be done in the open gaol yard, and the water
heated in a kettle placed against the stone wall. On the day of my visit snow
\v,l> falling while this work was going on. A washhouse in the gaol yard is very
much needed.
" The matron, in cooking her food, is obliged to use the stove pi'ovided for the
prisoners. Her washing also is done with water heated on this stove, and as in
the majority of cases the cook selected is a male prisoner, the objectionableness
of this arrangement is apparent.
" The exceedingly inconvenient, and in some respects, unfit structural con-
dition of the gaol is also apparent in the provision made for the matron, there
being no way of getting rid of the slops, etc., from her apartments except by
Oi. nying them up one night of steps and down another into the female airing
61
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
yard. In doing so she has to pass through the gaol, and the doors (seven
in number) are necessarily left open until she returns, and in going through
the corridors she is obliged to pass the wards where the male prisoners are
confined."
The second inspection was made by Dr. O'Reilly, who reported to the
Government as follows : —
" I made an inspection of the Owen Sound gaol on the 21st November.
The prisoners in custody on that day were twenty-two, all males. One of the
prisoners was waiting trial for robbery, one was on remand charged with lar-
ceny, two were under sentence for assault, two for contempt of court, twelve for
vagrancy and four for drunkenness.
" A former representation of mine resulted in the removal of a part of the
wooden settles used as bedsteads in this gaol and the substitution of good iron
bedsteads therefor. A considerable number of the so-called bedsteads are still
in use and need to be replaced before this gaol can be kept in that condition of
good order and cleanliness which should be maintained.
" The county authorities are shewing every desire to make things as satis-
factory as possible about the court house and gaol, and I have no doubt that in
due time this matter of bedsteads will be attended to.
" A new residence for the gaoler is just approaching completion. It will
probably be the finest gaoler's residence in the Province when ready for occupa-
tion.
" The gaol and court house are now comfortably heated with steam, although
the construction of the apparatus is of the most primitive kind, and there is only
one boiler. The gaoler's house will also be heated with steam. It is to be re-
gretted that the heating apparatus was not constructed on more modern princi-
ples, and that two boilers were not put in. Should an accident occur to the one
boiler now in use, the consequences to the whole establishment would be very
serious, while with a duplicate boiler such a contingency would be. always pro-
vided for.
" When the gaoler's residence is finished and in occupation, the accommoda-
tion of the gaol will be so much increased that other improvements will be pos-
sible. I would suggest that the room now used as a kitchen be converted into a
laundry, as being on the best side of the building for that purpose, and that the
room now used as the gaoler's kitchen be converted into a kitchen for the gaol.
These changes would very much increase the facilities for the proper working of
the gaol and make everything more pleasant in all respects."

were young men charged with breaking the seal of a railway car, one was under
sentence for violation of the Scott Act, and the remainder were vagrants. Of
the females one was said to be insane, but she was not a subject for a lunatic
asylum, the other two were vagrants. One of these latter has been in gaol for
about eighteen months and is bedridden. She is not at all a tit subject for the
gaol, her only crime being her poverty. In the absence of a hospital she should
be provided with better quarters than a gaol. It is very unlikely she will
ever be able to get about again.
" The interior of the gaol was found to be in excellent order in every respect.
I found a cracking in one of the yard walls, which is probably due to the
settlement of the foundation. This will require to be looked after before it be-
comes any worse.

I instructed Mr. Mann, of my office, to make the first inspection of this gaol.
A copy of his report to me is appended : —
" Acting under your directions I made an inspection of the Perth gaol on
the 16th May. There were fourteen men and nine women in custody, who had been
committed for the following causes: — Males, vagrancy nine, insanity three, as-
saulting constable one, larceny one. Females, vagrancy five, insanity three,
idiocy one.
" It was stated that new hardwood floors were about to be put down in place of
the old ones, which are worn out. The gaol was in its usual state of cleanliness
and good order. An examination of the books showed them to be properly
kept.
A copy of the report made by me is annexed : —
" I made an inspection of the Perth gaol on the 21st August. I saw the
prisoners then in custody, ten males and seven females.
" The gaol was in excellent order throughout. New hardwood floors have
been laid in the lower wards. They have been properly oiled and the whole
structure presents a very neat appearance. The accommodation, however, is not
sufficient for the number of prisoners committed of late, and should the gaol
population maintain the average of the past two years increased room will be re-
quired. There are but four wards in the gaol. The two on the south side are
each fitted with three double cells, and the two on the north side with six single
cells, making eighteen separate cells or accommodation for twenty-four prisoners.
All the room in the gaol has of late been frequently occupied, and as many as
thirty-eight prisoners have been in custody at one time, consequently those in
excess of the cell room have to be provided for in the corridors.
" The books were properly and neatly kept. The gaoler and turnkey are
attentive to the discharge of their duties."

threatening to shoot. Of the females, one was under sentence for larceny, one
was committed for murder, and one for vagrancy.
" The gaol premises, both inside and out, were in good order, shewing a strict
attention on the part of the gaoler and turnkeys to their respective duties.
" An examination of the books shewed them to be neatly and correctly kept.
No punishments have been recorded for five years, and the deprivations in order
to maintain proper discipline have been few.
" The structural condition of the gaol was also found to be satisfactory with
'the exception that the posts of the wooden fence enclosing the working yard have
been raised out of the ground by the action of frost for years past. The gaoler
was directed to utilize prison labour in digging round the posts to a sufficient
depth to lower the whole structure to its proper level. This can be done without
.taking the fence down or breaking it in any way."

gaol on the 17th May. There were eighteen prisoners in custody, fourteen males and
four females. The males had been committed for the following offences, viz.,
vagrancy, eight ; violation of the Canada Temperance Act, one ; insanity, five.
The females were all undergoing sentence for vagrancy.
" Two small rooms have been partitioned off and furnished for the purposes
of a hospital, which, although of rather limited space, would appear to add to the
general accommodation of the gaol.
" The condition of the gaol was satisfactory. The books were entered up to
date and properly kept."
A copy of the report made by me upon this gaol is annexed : —
" The second inspection of the Peterborough gaol was made by me on the
22nd August. There were thirteen men and three women in custody. Five of
the former had been committed as lunatics, one being found insane by the court
after examination on a criminal charge, one was waiting trial for murder, the
others were vagrants, etc. One of the women is an idiot, and the others were
charged with vagrancy.
" I found the gaol and premises to be in good order. The books are in
proper form."

The debtor had been an inmate of the gaol for six months. The female prisoner
was under sentence for larceny.
"The gaol was found to be in excellent order throughout."
Dr. O'Reilly instructed Mr. Nicholson, of the Inspector's Department, to
visit this gaol. He reported to Dr. O'Reilly as under : —

" The prisoners in custody on that date were one male and two females. The
male prisoner is an idiot who has been in the gaol for a long time. One of the
females was under sentence for damaging property, and the other had been com-
mitted as insane.
" The gaol throughout was in very good order, and the gaoler's books were
properly kept. The surgeon's book contained no entry since the date of the last

Copies of the reports made to the Government by Dr. O'Reilly upon this gaol
are annexed : —
" The first inspection of the St. Catharines gaol during the official year was-
made on the 10th April. There were then in custody six prisoners, five males
and one female. Two of the men were waiting trial for larceny, and one was-
under sentence for the same offence, one was under sentence for assault, and one
for being drunk and disorderly. The female prisoner was serving a sentence for
malicious assault.
" Upon a thorough inspection the gaol was found to be in its usual excellent
condition.
" It was to me a matter of some surprise to find that a telephone had not
been introduced into the gaol. This ready means of communication has come
into such general use, and is so obvious an advantage in the administration of a
gaol as well as a source of safety, enabling the gaoler to call for assistance from
the police should such be necessary, that there are very few instances in the
Province where the gaol has not been one of the first places to be connected upon
the telephone system being introduced. I would strongly recommend the placing
of a telephone in the St. Catharines gaol."
" I made a second inspection of the St. Catharines gaol on the 17th October.
There were then eleven prisoners, eight males and three females in custody.
" I regret to find that no telephone has yet been supplied to this gaol. From
its isolated position, a telephone is a necessity. Since my inspection, a prisoner
made his escape, who in all probability would have been immediately recaptured
had it been possible to communicate directly with the police by telephone, but as
it was, the prisoner got a very good start before assistance could be procured.
" There was a man in gaol who had been picked up by the police the previ-
ous evening with a broken leg, and instead of taking him at once to the hospital
he was committed to gaol. I consider this an exceedingly ill-advised and stupid
act on the part of the police, and on my calling the Sheriffs attention to the
matter, the man was immediately removed to the hospital.
" The gaol was found to be in that excellent condition of cleanliness and
order which always characterizes it."

" The Sarnia gaol was inspected by me on the 1st August, when there were
sixteen male prisoners in confinement, no females. Three of the prisoners were
waiting trial on a charge of counterfeiting ; one was sentenced for larceny ; one
for assault, and one for a violation of the Canada Temperance Act. Three were
insane and seven were under sentence for vagrancy and drunkenness.
" There are only sixteen cells in this gaol, and on the day of my visit there
were sixteen prisoners in custody ; consequently, anything like proper classification
was not possible. This state of things will not admit of improvement until the
gaol is enlarged.
" I found the gaol to be thoroughly clean and in good order in all respects.
The books are not kept as they ought to be. The attention of the gaoler and
also of the Sheriff was called to this."
Dr O'Reilly instructed Mr. Nicholson to make the second inspection of this
gaol. He reported to Dr. O'Reilly as under : —
'"As authorized by you I made an inspection of the Sarnia gaol on the
2nd October. The gaoler being absent, I was accompanied in my inspection by
the Sheriff and turnkey.
Fifteen prisoners, thirteen men and two women were in custody, one male
and two females had been committed as insane. Three of the males were wait-
ing trial on a charge of passing counterfeit money and two for larceny. The
others were under sentence for drunkenness.
"The corridors and cells had been newly whitewashed and the condition of
the gaol was in all respects commendable. The various books of record were
found to be in better order than when last inspected."

of the male prisoners was held for forgery ; two for larceny ; one for rape and one
for assault. Three were under sentence for vagrancy and two were insane. Of

the females, three were insane ; one was a vagrant and one a keeper of a house
of ill-fame.
" This gaol which is in the first year of its occupation, is in admirable order
in all respects and proves to be on the whole a very satisfactory building for its
purpose.
" The yards are now being terraced and sodded and when this work is com-
pleted the whole will be a credit to the county."
Dr. O'Reilly instructed Mr. Nicholson, of the Inspector's Department, to visit
this gaol. His report was as under : —
" As authorized by you, I inspected the Stratford gaol on the 3rd October.
There were twelve prisoners in custody on that day, eleven males and one female,
two of the males were waiting trial for larceny and one for rape. The remainder
Were undergoing sentence for minor offences, such as drunkenness, vagrancy, etc.,
with the exception of two who have been committed as insane.
" The female prisoner was suffering from cancer and appears to be a fit subject
for a home for incurables. I would recommend the municipal authorities to
endeavour to have this woman transferred to some more suitable place than the
gaol.
" I noticed that the concrete flooring in some of the cells had become broken
into holes, otherwise the gaol was in excellent order throughout. The books are
properly kept."

is annexed : —
" I inspected the Sandwich gaol on the 1st August. There were on that
occasion six males and five females in custody.
" The only officer of the gaol I saw was one of the turnkeys : the gaoler was
away in one direction, and one of the turnkeys in another, leaving only one turn-
key in charge. Measures will be taken to remedy this state of things in the
future. In a gaol so important as this, being rarely without one or more prisoners
of a very bad type, there is no time for the officers, in charge to devote to other
matters than those strictly pertaining to their duties in the gaol.
Dr. O'Reilly instructed Mr. Nicholson, of the Inspector's Department, to visit
this goal. He reported as under : —
" As authoi'ized by you, I made an inspection of the Sandwich gaol on the 27th
September, when it contained six prisoners, four males and two females. One of
the males was waiting trial for murder ; one was an idiot and one a vagrant.
The females were both vagrants.
" The gaol throughout was in excellent order and neat and clean."

" On the occasion of my visit to St. Thomas on the 10th March, to make a
special investigation into the sanitary condition of the court house, gaol and
gaoler's residence, I also made the ordinary statutory inspection of the gaol.
" The prisoners in custody on that date numbered six males and one female.
Two of the male prisoners were waiting trial for torgery, and the others were vag-
rants. The woman was waiting a vacancy in the London asylum.
" The gaol was in its usual condition of good order and cleanliness. I found
some of the ventilators in the cells choked up. The gaoler's attention was called
to this and no doubt the defect will be put right."
" The St. Thomas gaol was again inspected by me on the 8th October, when
it contained only three male prisoners, of whom two were waiting trial for lar-
ceny and one for obtaining money under false pretences.
" The water supply of this gaol is very unsatisfactory. I was informed that
it has to be carried sometimes from a pond about a mile and a half away, and it
is very inferior in quality and not very clean. This ought to be remedied in
some way.
" The old closets have been taken out of the basement of the court house
and new ones erected outside. The drainage is now said to be in a very satis-
factory condition. . Certainly the condition of the court house is very much im-
proved by the change."

Dr. O'Reilly instructed Mr. Mann to inspect this gaol. A copy of the re'

" As instructed by you, I made an inspection of the Sault Ste. Marie gaol on
the 30th August. There were thirteen prisoners in custody, ten men and three
women. The male prisoners had been committed for the following offences :
Mm •« ler two, rape one, vagrancy one, giving liquor to Indians one, drunkenness
three, selling liquor without license one, and one is an idiot. The women were
all under sentence for prostitution. The prisoners were all seen.
" On account of the recent rapid increase in the population and of the num-
erous public works in progress in the neighbourhood, the number of prisoners
confined in the gaol has greatly increased during the year, no less than 196 hav-
ing been confined up to this date. The accommodation is now totally inade-
quate for the number of prisoners passing through the gaol.

" The fence surrounding the gaol yard has become rotten with age, and un-
less a new one be soon provided it, will fall down. Indeed, it is difficult to under-
stand how escapes can be guarded against with the present structure, especially
when prisoners of the most desperate character are confined within the walls.

Copies of the reports made by me to the Government upon this gaol are an-
nexed : —
" I inspected the Toronto gaol on the 9th March. There were then in cus-
tody one hundred and sixty-eight males and sixty females, making a total of two
hundred and twenty-eight. Of this number ten males and eighteen females were
fully certified as lunatics, one male was on remand charged with being insane,
eight males and one female were waiting trial, one male was on remand charged
with an indictable offence, one male and two females were on remand charged
With minor offences, one male was confined as a debtor, forty-three males and
four females were under sentence for indictable offences, and the remainder,
namely, one hundred and three males and thirty -five females, were under sen-
tence for minor offences such as drunkenness and disorderly conduct, vagrancy,
trespass, keepers, inmates and frequenters of disorderly houses, etc.
" The records showed that the commitments for the current year are far in
excess of those of any previous corresponding period. Last year the number
■committed up to 8th March was 1,363, while up to the same day of the current
year there have been 1,714 commitments, showing an increase of 351 prisoners.
This increase is, however, chiefly due to commitments for minor offences already
specified.
" A large number of the male prisoners in custody were young men, able-
bodied and in good health, but the limited accommodation as formerly noted,
prevents almost any approach to classification or separation of the more criminal
class from those who have not yet to the same extent launched into criminal life.
The increase in the number committed proves the necessity for immediate atten-
tion to an enlargement of the gaol as formerly urged, and on that ground alone,
if there were no other, immediate action should be taken by the authorities to
make provision for this large increase of prisoners. There are also sanitary rea-
sons why the work should be proceeded with at once, otherwise there can be no
assurance given that the condition of the premises as they are at present may not
be chargeable with the propagation of disease and ill-health. I was glad to learn
that examinations had been made by an architect appointed by the corporation,
with a view to effecting the necessarjr alterations. In addition to the improve-
ments previously suggested in my reports last year, I pointed out the importance
of concreting the entire basement as the best means of excluding damp and
noxious smells from underneath the floor which has been so long saturated with
Washings, etc."
"A second inspection of the Toronto gaol was made by me on the 26th Sep-
tember, when there were two hundred and eighteen prisoners in custody, of
Whom one hundred and fifty-two were males and fifty-six females.

" There is a noticeable increase in the number of prisoners committed to this
gaol during the current year as compared with the last year. The number for
the present year to date is 4,081, and for the same period of last year it was
3,7o7, shewing an increase of 324. The increase, however, is hugely due to com-
mitments for minor offences.
" At the same time this rapid increase in commitments shows the necessity
for prompt action in providing the enlarged accommodation now .contemplated,
but from the progress made thus far many months will intervene before the work
is completed. I understand that contracts have been awarded for certain por-
tions of the work and an excavation for the residence of the gaoler has been
commenced.
" I found the gaol premises in as good order and as well maintained as could
be expected with the present crowded condition of the gaol, and every effort is
being made to ensure the safe keeping of the prisoners and a proper observance
of discipline."

to an asylum.
" I made an inspection of the gaol throughout, and also examined the books
and found everything in excellent order."
Dr. O'Reilly authorized Mr. Nicholson to make the second inspection of this
gaol. He reported to Dr. O'Reilly as under : —
" Acting under your instruction, I inspected the Walkerton gaol on the 4th
October, when it contained only three male prisoners, of whom one was held

on that date fifteen males and nine females in custody. Of the male prisoners,
one was waiting trial for larceny, one for forgery, one for violation of the Tem-
perance Act, and one for illegally carrying firearms, three were insane, and eight
were vagrants. Of the females, one was under sentence for larceny and five for
vagrancy, two were insane, and one was a feeble-minded woman who had been an
inmate of the gaol for a long time.
" The accommodation in this gaol consists of four corridors of six cells each
for the males, and one of six cells and one of two cells for the females. There is
consequently no means of proper classification.
" On the day of my inspection there were two girls and one small boy in
custod}7, and it was only by keeping these three together in the same corridor
that it was possible to separate them from the older and more hardened prisoners.
When this gaol is full, as it usually is, no classification whatever can be made.
" There was no day during the ten months in which there were less than
twelve prisoners confined in the gaol, while for 1-14 days there were from twelve
to twenty prisoners, and for 111 days from twenty-one to thirty-five prisoners,
and for 56 days there were from thirty-six to fifty-five prisoners daily.
" To manage these prisoners and conduct this gaol, which is one of the most
difficult in the Province, from its construction, there are but three persons, the
gaoler, the matron, and one turnkey.
" It must be evident to any one from the above figures that this staff is quite
inadequate to the service required. It must also be remembered that there are
generally from one to half a dozen lunatics confined in this gaol in transit to the
asylum, as well as some half dozen or more helpless creatures committed as
vagrants, but who rightly belong to a poor-house, all of which go to make the
duties of the officers of the gaol very burdensome and disagreeable. The worst
feature in the case, after the great danger to the safety of the prisoners which so
small a staff involves, is that the duties of the officers, and, especially the turnkey,
are almost continuous. Practically, the one turnkey gives twenty-four hours'
service to the gaol every day for seven days in the week. There being no apart-
ments for the family of the turnkey contiguous to the gaol, this one man is obliged
always to sleep in the building, and when he has an opportunity of going to rest,
the noise from lunatics and others confined in the gaol often prevents his getting
a healthy sleep. Practically, from week's end to week's end, Sundays included,
the turnkey can only be absent from the gaol when he is eating his meals. For
this service he gets 8500 a year, and is not allowed a single holiday except on
condition that he provides at his own expense a substitute to take his place.
" It is not in the power of any man to continue such labour as this for any
great length of time without seriously impairing his health. The breathing of the
foul air of the prison for so many hours is in itself enough to undermine his health.
A labouring man works from eight to ten hours a day, six days a week, and
receives from $1.50 to $2.00 a day, while this turnkey works twenty-fours a day,
seven days in the week, and receives $1.36 per day. I feel it my duty to call
urgent attention to this matter, and I am confident that when it is brought to
the notice of the gaol committee, they will at once see the necessity of providing
the sheriff with the means of hiring an additional turnkey. The man chosen to
fill the place should be one in whose ability, capacity, intelligence and morality, the
sheriff may have entire confidence, and the pay will have to be such as will
induce such a man to accept the office."
The second inspection was made by Mr. Hayes, who reported to Dr. O'Reilly
as under : —
" As instructed by you, I visited the Woodstock gaol on the 20th September.

There were then seventeen men and four women in custody. With the exception
of a female lunatic, and of three men waiting trial for burglary, forgery and
embezzlement respectively, all the prisoners were under sentence for vagrancy,
trespass, drunkenness, etc. They were all seen and none made complaint. The
number in custody and the limited accommodation afforded by the gaol make
proper classification impracticable.
" The gaol was in fairly good order. It would be an improvement were the
brick floors in the cells and elsewhere, but especially in the cells, replaced by hard-
wood floors. The brick floors, after washing, remain damp for some time. In
some places, too, they are worn into holes. Iron bedsteads are very much needed,
as it is impossible to keep the present wooden contrivances free from vermin."

Copies of the reports made to the Government by Dr. O'Reilly upon this
gaol are annexed , —
" My first inspection of the Welland gaol for the year was made on the 10th
April, when the prisoners numbered nineteen, seventeen males and two females.
Of the former, one had been convicted for forgery and was waiting sentence.
The following were waiting trial : two for forgery ; one for rape and one for
murder. One was insane and was waiting removal to the asylum ; the rest were
vagrants and drunkards. Of the two female prisoners, one was committed for
larceny and the other for vagrancy.
" On the occasion of this visit, I had the pleasure of meeting by appointment
the members of the gaol committee of the County Council. With this committee
and also by myself, I made a thorough examination of the building and had no
difficulty in arriving at the conclusion that it is in a very unsanitary condition,
especially as regards the basement, There are imperfect drains running the
whole length of the building under the floor, some of them abandoned ones which
have not been used for years and others which are partially used. In this base-
ment the gaoler and turnkey and their families are living. There is and has
been from time to time for a number of years past, much complaint of sickness
in these families, and I have no hesitation myself in coming to the conclusion
that this basement is an unfit place of residence for a family, and that provision
ought to be made elsewhere for these officers.
" When the basement of the court house is vacated by«these families, it will
then be possible to take up the wooden flooring, extirpate the the existing drains
and put a proper concrete bottom to the whole building. This with proper
means of ventilating the basement, which can be easily accomplished, will render
the court house, so far as this source of trouble is concerned, quite satisfactory.
I am convinced that until these measures are taken, a good sanitarv condition
connot be arrived at in the building.
" The existing drainage does not materially affect the sanitary condition of
the gaol, very trifling alterations in the outside drainage will accomplish all that
is necessary so far as that is concerned. The main drain outside, which is of stone,
should be replaced by -lazed tile, properly trapped and ventilated, and I am
inclined to think that nothing further will be necessary there.

" The members of the committee were so impressed with the condition of
the apartments of the gaoler that they passed a resolution on the day of my
visit authorizing the chairman of the committee to rent a house in the town for
the use of the gaoler, pending the action of the County Council at its meeting in
June.
" There is land, the property of the county, immediately adjoining the court
house, which would be entirely suitable for sites for houses for the gaoler and
turnkey, and the buildidgs could be so constructed as to be in every way satis-
factory in point of convenience, and the security and discipline of the gaol would
not be impaired by the residence of these officers in the proposed buildings.
" I made a second inspection of the Welland gaol on the 17th October, when
there were six male prisoners in custody. One was under sentence for perjury ;
two for bringing stolen goods into Canada ; one for larceny ; one for being drunk
and disorderly, and one had been committed as insane and was waiting
examination.
" This visit was occasioned by a summons I received announcing an outbreak
of diphtheria in the gaol premises, and the result of my investigation is embodied
in the following special report which I made to His Honour, the Lieutenant
Governor : —
" When the court house and gaol in the town of Wdlland were constructed,
the basement of the court house was made a residence for the gaoler and turnkey
with their families, and thus became a part of the gaol premises.
" These apartments are unsuited for residence purposes ; they are not venti-
lated at all, some of the rooms having not even a window in them and the
ceilings are only nine feet high. I presume the intention was that this part of the
building should be used only temporarily. I am informed that ever since it has
been so occupied the inmates thereof have complained more or less of ill-health,
but for the last few years it has been within my own knowledge that the fami-
lies of the gaoler and turnkey were actually suffering in their health from
residence in this basement, and last April I had an interview with the committee
of the County Council, who have the public buildings in charge, and urged very
strongly upon them that these apartments were unfit for residence purposes. I
pointed out the necessity" of providing other quarters above ground for these
families, and that the general sanitary condition of the court house and gaol
required the immediate overhauling and improvement of the basement. I ven-
tured the prediction that the summer could not pass, with those families living
there, without disastrous consequences to some of the inmates.
" The council did have some changes made in the basement of the building
in the way of tearing out old timber and filth of one kind and another, and I am
informed that a very terrible state of things was found to exist under the floors.
The job was not by any means thoroughly done although the authorities claimed
they had put the place in good sanitary condition. The sequel, however, shews
that they were mistaken.
" During the course of the month of October, a daughter of the gaoler was
attacked with diphtheria. When this young lady was taken ill the matter was
reported to me, and the surgeon in charge of the patient urgently desired me to
visit the gaol. I did so at once and the result of my visit was that I gave per-
emptory instructions to the sheriff to at once remove from the building all
members of both families who could be removed and to provide quarters for them
elsewhere. I also wrote a letter to the Warden of the County desiring him to
immediately call a meeting of the county authorities.
'• Three days afterwards the Warden having called a meeting of the gaol
74
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
committee of the council, I attended, but took the precaution to have with
me Dr. Bryce, the Secretary ot the Provincial Board of Health, with a view to
getting his opinion upon the sanitaiy condition of the building as well as my
own.
" Dr Bryce made a thorough examination of the building and endorsed the
action I had taken, stating that there could be no question about the propriety of
my having ordered out ot the building all who could be moved, also, that 1 was
quite correct in the opinion I expressed as to the unfitness of this basement as a
place of human habitation.
" Since that occasion the gaoler's daughter has died, and the basement is now
empty.
" Under the provisions of R. S. 0. 1887, cap. 250, sec. 22 to 24 inclusive, I
have now the honour to report these circumstances, and I have no hesitation in
expressing my opinion that the basement in question is not fit for families to
reside in with safety to their health, and that it will be necessary to take steps
with a view to having residences provided above ground for the gaoler and
turnkey.
" I may say that the part of the building which is used for the confinement of
prisoners is not, in my opinion, materially affected by the conditions which I com-
plain of. My recommendations to the County Council have been carried out with
respect to that part of the building, and I think it is in an entirely satisfactory
condition."

Instructions were given b}' me to Mr. Hayes to make the first inspection of
this gaol. He reported to me as under : —
" Acting under your directions, I made an inspection of the Whitby gaol
on the 9th April. There were then thirteen males and two females in custody.
Of these seven had been committed as lunatics, but two were idiots and one an
old man ninety-three years of age. Of the other prisoners, one, an uncle of one
the idiots, was waiting trial for rape, two were under sentence for assault, two
for breaches of the Canada Temperance Act, and two for using profane and
indecent language. The remaining prisoner is paralyzed. He was originally com-
mitted for vagrancy. Application was afterwards made by the county authorities
to the Toronto General Hospital for his admission to that place, but it was refused,
and therefore this unfortunate man has to remain in gaol. His sentence has expired
but he cannot be discharged, as he is unable to walk. The Sheriff was advised to
apply to the Home for Incurables or the House of Providence, Toronto, for the
admission of the man to either of those places. The County Council are, I
believe, prepared to pay for his maintenance.
" The gaol was in very good order. The recommendation previously made
that the unused room in the basement should be fitted up as a bath room, for
which it is extremely well suited, is repeated. The cost would be but small, as steam
heating pipes are already in the room, and it has a concrete floor and a drain runs
immediately under it. It is to be hoped that the County Council will provide
this wry n3cessary adjunct to the gaol, and also will supply a sufficient number
of iron bedsteads for furnishing each cell with one.
75
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
" The books are well kept. Few punishments have been recorded. The
gaol surgeon makes frequent visits.
" The gaoler was informed, in reply to his enquiry, that when a prisoner's
sentence expires on Sunday, he may be discharged on the previous Saturday
unless he wishes to remain until the following Monday."
A copy of my report to the Government is annexed : —
" The second inspection of the Whitby gaol was made by me on the 16th
August. Six males and one female were in custody.
" The wards were clean and the yards were in fair order. The prisoners
have been employed in breaking stone for some time past, and such as were sen-
tenced to hard labour and were fit for it have been kept steadily at work."
Gore Bay Lock-up.
Dr. O'Reilly instructed Mr. Mann to inspect this lock-up. A copy of his
report is appended : —
" As directed by you I visited the Gore Bay lock-up on the 1st September.
There were no prisoners in custody on that day, although quite a number have
been committed during the year.
*' The lock-up is clean and tidy and the books are properly kept and entered
up."
Little Current Lock-up.
Dr. O'Reilly instructed Mr. Mann to inspect this lock-up. A copy of his
report is annexed : —
"As directed by you I visited the Little Current lock-up on the 29th
August. Only one prisoner, a woman, is in custody for want of sureties to keep
the peace.
" The building and all in connection therewith is in a clean and satisfactory
state and the books are written up."
Manitowaning Lock-up.
Dr. O'Reilly instructed Mr. Mann to inspect this lock-up. A copy of his
report is annexed : —
" As directed by you, I made an inspection of the Manitowaning lock-up on
the 29th August, on which occasion there were no prisoners in custody.
" The building is not altogether in a very satisfactory state, being unclean
and overcrowded. One of the rooms generally occupied by the lock-up keeper's
family has been lately used as a registry office, there being no other suitable
place in the locality. Other premises should be provided for this purpose, as
the building is at present too small for the requirements of a lock-up and dwell-
ing house.
" The fence and well so often recommended, and indeed so necessary here,
have not yet been constructed."
Parry Sound Lock-up.
I instructed Mr. Hayes to inspect this lock-up. A copy of his report is
annexed :
" As directed by you, I made an inspection of the Parry Sound lock-up on
the evening of the 9th August. Three male prisoners were in custody, one was
76
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
a vagrant, one had just been brought in drunk and one was under sentence for
threatening to shoot. Since the opening of the official year twenty prisoners
have been committed, eight of whom were charged with breaches of the Temper-
ance Act.
" The building was clean and in very good order. Its condition reflects
credit on the keeper. The fence to the east of the lock-up has been raised and
is now an effectual barrier against communication with the prisoners from the
outside.
"Some furnishings and bedding are required for use in the lock-up, and I
would recommend that the necessary articles be ordered.
" The register is properly kept."
KlLLARNEY LOCK-UP.
Dr. O'Reilly instructed Mr. Mann to inspect this lock-up. A copy of his
report is annexed : —
" Acting under your instructions, I inspected the newly-built lock-up at
Killanu'v on the 29th August. There were no prisoners in custody and only
two had been imprisoned since the lock-up was opened. The building although
small is solid and compact, and no doubt will answer the purpose for which it
has been built for some time to come. It, however, requires painting or white-
washing, which could be done at a small cost.
" A fence round the lot on which the building stands is badly needed and
should be constructed as soon as possible, there being no protection from intruders
on the grounds."
Thessalon Lock-up.
Dr. O'Keilly instructed Mr. Mann to inspect this lock-up. A copy of the
report is annexed : —
" As directed by you, I visited the Thessalon lock-up on the 1st September.
The building, which has only recently been erected, is of rather small dimensions,
but will no doubt afford as much accommodation as may be required for some
time.
" The lot on which the lock-up stands should be fenced as soon as possible,
so that more protection against the escape of prisoners and also the improvement
of the grounds may be secured."
Bruce Mines Lock-up.
" Dr. O'Reilly instructed Mr. Mann to visit this lock-up. A copy of his
report is annexed : —
" As instructed by you I made an inspection of the Bruce Mines lock-up on
the 1st September. There was in custody one old man, who was about to be
taken away to be cared for by his friends.
" The building is quite new and is well kept, clean and satisfactory in every
respect.
" The register had never been entered up since the opening of the lock-up,
although a number of prisoners had been in custody since then. I instructed the
keeper to be sure and have this done in the future, also to enter up those who
had been already committed."

THE CENTRAL PRISON OF ONTARIO.
Although the actual number of prisoners committed to the Central Prison
during the year ending 30th September, was less than in the previous year, the
average daily number in confinement was much larger, being 350 against 322.
The total stay of the prisoners was also greater, being 127,915 days against 119,662
days. This was caused by the longer sentences passed upon those committed to-
the prison, the average being six months and twenty-six days ; and this also
accounts for the fact that, although the commitments were reduced, yet the
number of prisoners in custody at the close of the year was greater than at the
commencement. The direct sentences to the prison were in excess of the two
previous years, a fact I am glad to note, as it shews that the members of the
judiciary have confidence in the Central Prison, and in the manner in which it is
conducted.
During the year just passed, the industries of the prison were carried on with
success. The output from the brickyard was largely in excess of the previous
years, but this increase does not shew in the revenue return, as the sales were not
all completed at the end of the year.
A fire occurred on night of the 29th August, causing the destruction of the
paint shop and storehouse. Investigation failed to positively discover the cause
of the fire, which was happily confined to the building named. The place is
now being rebuilt in an enlarged form.
During the course of the year, I, accompanied by the Warden of the Central
Prison, visited six of the American States and eleven penal institutions. The
object of this tour was to gather expert testimony upon the manner in which
the prison labour question is being considered and dealt with in the States, in its
various relationships to the Government, the free labourer and the prisoner
himself.
A number of very different opinions were thus obtained, and a good deal of
information gathered, which will be of value to the Executive when the
present industrial arrangements are revised. Inasmuch, however, as the matter
is under consideration and the contracts still in force, I refrain, at present, from
commenting upon any conclusions arrived at.
I am glad to be able to state that one result of my observation of the various
State prisons visited, was to satisfy me that the Central Prison in management^
discipline, treatment of prisoners, etc., compares very favourably with any other
institution of a like character on this continent.
The usual statistical tables of the movements of the prison population, and
of the results of the industrial operations during the year are given : —
The first table shews the discharges, committals, etc., during the past three
years : —

It will be seen that it was found necessary to return seven prisoners to the
common gaols they came from in consequence of their unfitness for prison labour.
It is to be regretted that such prisoners should be sentenced to the prison
direct, as the presence of several men unfit to be placed in any working gang
causes very great inconvenience, and their return to the places admitted from
is sometimes a matter of considerable expense.
One death took place in the prison during the year, the first since 1884.
The summary which follows shews the number of prisoners sentenced direct
to the prison and the number transferred from the common gaols during 1886,
1887 and 1888.

The greater aggregate cost is largely caused by 'the increased stay of
the prisoners before referred to, and by the higher prices of the food supplies,
also in some measure to renewals and repairs in consequence of the fire in chapel
in main buildinsr.

Inspections.
Appended will be found copies of the minutes made by me of two inspections
of the Central Prison. Of course, in addition to these formally recorded visits,
I was at the prison on numerous other occasions.
" I made an inspection of the Centi*al Prison on the 13th, 14th, loth and
16th July. On the last day of my visit there were 352 prisoners in custody,
employed and distributed as follows, viz: —
Broom shop 82
N orth shop 80
Brick yard 67
Garden and grounds 15
Tailor and shoe shops 23
Blacksmith and machinists and carpenters and painters at ) « ,
Female Reformatory J
Cleaners and orderlies 29

"On this occasion minute attention was given to the food distributed and
food supplies, all of which were found satisfactory, as to quality, quantity and
the condition in which served.
" Every apartment in the institution was also seen, and the cell blocks were
found to be in a neat and tidy condition, and while engaged in the work of
inspecting them every prisoner had an opportunity to make any statement he
87
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 188$
desired or formulate aity complaint he choose to state. And the few that had any
annunciations which were of the nature of complaints, were of a trivial char-
acter, and not of sufficient importance to require further reference to them.
" The health of the prisoners was in a very satisfactory condition, and the
discipline has been well maintained. Examination of the shops and outbuildings
shewed them to be in good condition, well and neatly kept, and in all branches
of the industries carried on, satisfactory progress was indicated. The force em-
ployed in the brick yard is considerably greater than has been available for years
past, and the output will be largely in excess of that of previous years. This, how-
ever, is to a considerable extent due to the arrangements by which the brick
machines are worked by free labour. In former years they were under the con-
trol of the prisoners, and in spite of all precautions, break-downs, and
consequently idle machines, were the rule. So far during the present season they
have run regularly and in good order without any difficulty.
" The industries generally were in a satisfactory condition, and the work
turned out of good quality.
" My visit on Sunday, the 15th,was made specially with the view of noting the
order and discipline observed during the day and the general demeanour of the
prisoners during its continuance. When assembled in the chapel the conduct of
the prisoners was very commendable, and the decorum and general bearing of
each of them was praiseworthy. Subsequently, on parade the same character was
maintained throughout, and the day passed off without the occurence of any out-
ward incident to mar the harmony, or disturb the quiet of the day of rest.
Quite a number of the men fell out of the ranks while on parade for the purpose
of making statements to or enquiries of the Warden, and in all cases, while due
courtesy was observed, no evidence of embarrassment was shewn in communi-
cating their wishes."
" I made another inspection of the Central Prison on the 22nd October.
Since the date of my last report, frequent visits have been made by me to this
institution, principally for the purpose of arranging matters connected with the
industrial works in progress. Special visits have also been required in connection
with matters relating to the destruction by fire of the building known as the paint
shop and storehouse.
" The fire occurred on the night of the 29th August, and the inflammable
material, of which the stock is usually composed, was soon destroyed, notwith-
standing the prompt action taken to save the building and contents. No specific
cause, however, can be discovered for its origin.
" The loss on stock must be considerable as the place was completely filled
with manufactured goods which the contractors were having prepared for the fall
trade.
" The loss on the building is trifling, as the larger portion of the brick walls
are left intact, and uninjured by the fire.
" A recommendation to increase the height of the building has been approved,
and to cover it with slate instead of a shingle roof as formerly, and in many
other ways to provide a more fire-proof and durable structure.
" This, of course, while increasing the cost of the new building will add
largely to its value as compared with that of the building destroyed by fire.
" In the meantime provision was immediately made for the accommodation
required by the contractors, and their work has suffered but little interference or
interruption on account of want of room. The new building is nearly completed
and will be an additional value on capital account, located within the prison
walls.

" As formerly indicated the brick making operations of the season have been
successfully prosecuted. The quality of the output has been exceptionally good,
and the quantity will be greatly in excess of that of any former year.
" I found the discipline of the institution well maintained throughout, good
order prevailed in every department, and the health of the prisoners remained in
an equally satisfactory state.
" The following is the distribution of the prisoners on the day of my visit,
viz : —
Broom shop 84

" By the varied character of the employments, ample scope is given for dis-
tribution and classification of the prison population, with due regard to the
physical and mental ability of the prisoners, and also with a view, as much as
possible, under the circumstances, to influence their moral character and habits.
" The usual reports of the Warden, Prisoners Aid Association, etc., are
annexed : —
REPORT OF THE WARDEN,
Central Prison of Ontario,
Toronto, 1st October, 1888.
Robert Christie, Esq.,
Inspector of Prisons and Public Charities.
Sir : — I have the honour herewith to submit this, my Eighth and the Fifteenth
Annual Statistical Report of the Central Prison for the year ending the 30th
September, 1888.
As compared with last year the number of prisoners in custody at its close
and received since have been less by 146, yet the year closes with thirty in excess
of the last. The average term of sentence has been about a month longer. The
number received under direct sentence increased by twenty-one, while those trans-
ferred from the county gaols not under direct sentence decreased 184. It is
89
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
noteworthy that while in 1887 there were received 191 under sentence of one
month and less, this year only one was received. Short sentences for habituals
whether thieves or drunkards, serve no good purpose. The protection afforded to
society thereby is of no avail, while for purposes of reformation they are perfectly
useless, costly to the public and detrimental to the man on all sides. It is satis-
factory to note in this connection, that the habitual criminal is being more and
more recognized as a morally diseased subject, who should be held under deten-
tion till there is evidence that the defect in his construction has been put to
rights, and who should even then, only be granted liberty on parole. Society has no
place for the man who preys upon it dishonestly, is an offence to it, and injurious
to its peace and safety, but the prison, and there he should be kept under indefi-
nite sentence till his moral character is brought into harmony with law, which
protects and affords liberty to all.
The statistical tables convey information on the several points of usual
interest, and it is unnecessary to enlarge on all of them. It may be remarked,
however, that of the 1016 prisoners who have been in custody, only one died, an
evidence of the healthful condition of the prison premises ; the attention paid to
the dietary, clothing and care of the sick. Many are received who are perfect
wrecks from vice and uncleanness in their various forms, and insufficient food,
who if they were not cared for and otherwise brought under good influences and
treatment, would soon reach the end, or be subjects for the lunatic asylums. They
swell the sick list in the hospital, but the officers recognize it as a first obligation
to renovate the system, that possible reformation of the morals may be advanced.
Confinement in the Central Prison does not mean punishment for offences and pun-
ishment only, as some seem to think, but to bring about penitence for the past
and purer motives for the future.
When it is remembered that about one-third of the whole number of the
prisoners are employed outside the prison walls in open fields, and that only two
escaped during the year, it speaks well for the vigilance of the staff of officers, and
the surveillance kept by them.
The year has not been without its troubles, more serious than in any former
one in its history. One guard was cruelly and without any warning fatally
stabbed by a prisoner, and another by an accident in falling from a gallery in the
south cell block, died from the injuries. These events cast a gloom over the whole
prison, among the officials and employes, while upon a certain class of the prison-
ers the murder of the guard produced a very morbid and inhuman effect, resulting
in insubordination and open threats for a time. Happily the speedy trial and
execution of the murderer quelled the evil tendency of the worst class, and
brought things back to their normal condition ; but throughout its duration, it was
an anxious time. Within this prison during the past year, there has been and
still are a very considerable number of as bad men as can be found in any prison,
requiring constant vigilance and prudent management.
The industrial pursuits have ben actively prosecuted in all departments. As
a factor for the preservation of good order, for the elevation and fitting of the pris-
oner for his place in the contest for an honorable living, labour in its several
pursuits stands, next to Christianity, first and indispensable ; without it reformation
of character may be said to be impossible. What the future of some parts of this
branch of the prison operations will be, it is difficult to say, but if it is to main-
tain the position for usefulness which it has reached, there must be employment,
vaiied in its kinds, and suited to the capacities of the prisoners, both skilled and
unskilled, and both aided by machinery.
On the night of the 29th August, the paint shop and storehouse was
destroyed by fire, and is now in course of erection again. It has been decided to put
90
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
an additional flat upon the building, to increase the storage space, and then remove
all the wooden goods from the south shop. From the consequent danger of fire,
where so much varnish is used, a separate and isolated building should be provided,
wherein all the painting would be carried on, and an appropriation for this pur-
pose should be included in the estimates next year.
The necessity for a good road to the brickyard is severely felt, steady team-
ing over mud with so much wet weather has rendered the removal of brick almost
impossible, and a road should either be made from Strachan Avenue through the
south side of the prison grounds, or to connect with the street running south from
the subway on King street.
The receipts from the several industries and paid over to the Provincial
Treasurer have been nearly the same as last year, namely 830,136.43. This sum
does not include anything from * the brick making industry, for which no
return has yet been received.
I have to report that with the exception of the event referred to, resulting in
the death of the guard, the order and conduct of the prisoners has been good, and
that excellent discipline has been maintained, which next to other good influences,
is highly beneficial in its effect toward the reformation of the criminal, specially
those who have not previously been put under proper restraint or training, who
from their inherent waywardness have been taught but little that was good, and
were accustomed to follow only the dictates of their vicious and depraved
natures. Of such, there are always more or less, who have to be educated to
respect and comply with order, and be submissive to authority.
I have pleasure in acknowledging the efficiency of the staff of officers asso-
ciated with me and the employes, and their readiness to further every effort in
the direction of improvement in the working of the prison.
The religious services on Sunday morning and afternoons continue to be of
great benefit to the prisoners. To many of them it is a new and impressive
experience to have an earnest christian teacher sit by their side and speak
directly to them of the love of beings whose names they knew not but to be
associated with profanity. While making no claim for any percentage of those
who pass through the prison being converted or reformed, I have much testimony
of the good done, and grateful thanks for the help thus afforded toward a purer
and better life, from those who have been here. In this connection, for myself
and the prisoners, I would acknowledge the value of the services rendered by the
clergy of the city, and by Mr. Cassels and his staff of Sunday school teachers,
who at great personal sacrifice come with so much regulari ty at all seasons of the
year.
The night school, under the teaching of Mr. Stevens, works very successfully,
is largely attended, and the progress made in learning is the best evidence of
how highly this privilege is appreciated by the prisoners. The school room is
filled each evening it is held (Monday and Thursday^, and the two hours are
occupied by the closest attention to the exercises and study.
The enlargement of the prison and the introduction of electric lighting are
subjects that press for consideration. The cell capacity of the prison is only
three hundred and sixty-four, and when that number is exceeded, doubling has
to be resorted to, which is admitted by all experienced in prison management to
be detrimental to order, conducive of much immorality and uncleanness, and
should not be permitted under any circumstances. Then there should be increased
facilities for classification. The advantages of the system and good results
achieved from the limited extent even to which this has been reached through
the building of the kitchen, and utilizing the space formerly occupied thereby,
have been so marked, that if any proof was required to sustain the claims urged
91
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
of its importance and desirability, they are here beyond question. If a limited
appropriation was granted toward this object, the work could be carried on by
prison labor as mechanics capable of doing it were found among the prisoners,
even if it extended over a few years, and it is very desirable to begin operations
in this direction as soon as possible.
The introduction of gas to the cell houses some years ago was an improve-
ment on the candles previously supplied to the prisoners to read by, but for the
last two or three winters it has been very unsatisfactory. Often it was impos-
sible to read, or even to go about ordinary duties in any part of the prison without
coal oil lamps, and at best, when the steam is turned on for heating, the flicker of
the gas light in the cells, reflected from the outside walls of the corridors through
the iron gates is hard on the eyesight and has been objected to by the surgeon.
Now that the electric light has been brought to a high state of perfection, and can
be obtained at about the same or less cost than gas, it is very desirable to substi-
tute it and put a light in every cell.
Hitherto the blacksmiths, machinists, tinsmiths, steam-fitters, coopers and
carpenters employed on prison work have been in detached shops about the prem-
ises, often without any officer over them. The blacksmiths are in a shop under-
ground. For these a workshop should be provided where they could all be
employed under the supervision of a guard, and I recommend an appropriation
be asked for to purchase material and a suitable building erected by prison labor.
For the courtesy and assistance I'endered to me at all times by the Minister
in charge, and yourself, I beg to express my sincere appreciation.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
JAMES MASSIE,
Warden.

Report of the Superintendent of the Sunday School.
Toronto, 30th September, 1888.
R. Christie, Esq.,
Inspector of Asylums, Prisons, etc., Toronto.
Sir, — I have the honour to report that the Sunday School at the Central
Prison has been during- the past year carried on as heretofore.
There has been no change in our methods of work, and no abatement in the
zeal and vigor of our teaching staff. We continue to find encouragement in our
labors, and believe our work is blessed to many of the men.
We have met with uniform courtesy and kindness from the warden and other
officers of the prison, and all reasonable wants in connection with our work have
been supplied.
Your obedient servant,
HAMILTON CASSELS,
Supt. C. P. S. S.
Report of Prisoners' Aid Association.
Toronto, 24th October, 1888.
R. Christie, Esq.,
Inspector of Prisons and Public Charities.
Sir, — I have the honour to submit to you the report of the work of
the Prisoners' Aid Association of the past year in connection with the Andrew
Mercer Female Reformatory and the Central Prison, also a statement of receipts
and expenditures of the association for the year ending September 30th, 1888.
The association has during the past year assisted in various ways 715 dis-
charged prisoners. They have provided work for 301 ; aided 43 of the families
of prisoners; given 68 articles of furniture ; paid rent in 14 cases; distributed
274 articles of clothing ; given tools and materials to 31 ; paid railway fares for
17 ; given 2,835 meals, and 625 lodgings ; made loans to the extent of $303.95, of
which the discharged prisoners have returned S221.27 during the year.
Since we have secured the enlarged accommodation in the new building the
work is done to very much better advantage, and the numbers we have reached
will show the efficiency of the methods of the association. We, of course, hope to
increase its efficiency and value every year, and we are especially encouraged by
the increased readiness with which the recommendations of the association are
accepted in procuring employment for the prisoners.
We feel sure that if the present system could be amended so as to admit of
indeterminate sentences and discharges for good behaviour, that the power of the
association to procure work would be greatly increased and the assurance of a
return to honest habits generally increased.
We are thankful indeed, for what we have been able to do, and look forward
to still greater usefulness.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
S. H. BLAKE,
President.

Report of the Central Prison Night School.
To the Prisoner* AH Association : —
GENTLEMEN, — Not having had much experience in Central Prison work I am
not prepared to render a lengthy report thereon. I took charge April 13th. My
predecessor having taken his register with him, I am able to give statistics only
from the above date. Ninety-three men have been in the class during my master-
ship, giving an average attendance of about forty-five. I have learnt that men
who can read fairly well in the Senior First Book can learn to write intelligibly in
;i few weeks, but that a man who knows little or nothing of the four elementary
rules: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, moves with incredible
slowness at first. Once fairly started his case is more hopeful. The vast majority
of the attendance show every proof of a desire to leartL
One most pleasing, and I verily believe, most profitable innovation I have
made comes under the head of general news. The last fifteen or twenty minutes
of each evening is devoted to a chat on subjects of importance. For example, the
political platform of each party at the present Presidental election, the volcanic
eruption at Japan, etc. ; always having the map before the class. This, surely,
ought to give them something healthy to think about from lesson to lesson, thus
101
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
diverting their thoughts into more wholesome channels. Having secured their
interest and attention this way, about every third lesson I take up some one of
the following subjects, intemperance, discipline, or government, hygiene, mastur-
bation, self-control. Some of the men have told me that they would give more
for those talks than all the rest they, learn. I am more and more convinced that
these subjects should frequently be brought before them. My motto is : " The
poorest education that teaches self-control is better than the best that neglects it."
I would express my gratefulness to the Warden for the extensive changes he
has made in the room at my suggestions. I think Guard Hartley the right man
for the night school. He keeps good order and speaks in the proper tone. The
guards have all treated me with every expected courtesy.
I have the honor to be, gentlemen,
• Your obedient servant,
E. A. STEVENS.

THE REFORMATORY FOR FEMALES AND REFUGE
FOR GIRLS.
Reformatory for Females.
In reporting upon the operations of this institution for the past year, there
is no new feature in its working to be noted. Indeed, as the system and order of
its operations are becoming more stable experience proves the methods adopted to
conduce largely to develop and accomplish the purposes for which the institution
was established, -and in view of these facts it may be of interest to state the
routine order of proceedings observed each day, as follows : —
The night-watch rings rising bell at 5.30 a.m. during summer months and
at 6 a.m. in winter. Inmates are unlocked at 6.30 in summer and 7 a.m. in
winter. Each attendant on dut}r unlocks two adjoining corridors, and sees
that all the inmates enter the dining-room, where they take their places under
the supervision of the superintendent or deputy, and after grace an account is
taken of the inmates, so that the absence of any one may be noted.
They remain under supervision as stated during the meal time, and after
thanks is offered they are then separated and the Protestants meet in
one of the work-rooms for prayers, and are under the supervision of the deputj^-
superintendent. The Roman Catholics remain in the dining-room for the same
purpose, and are under the supervision of the superintendent, in both cases they
are assisted by attendants of the several departments. The attendants now take
charge and commence the operations of the day.
At 11.45 a.m. they cease work, and after preparation, washing, etc., they go
to dinner precisely at 12 o'clock, when the superintendent or deputy is again in
the room and remains in charge till the inmates finish their meal, after which
they are, in good weather, allowed till 1 o'clock in the airing yard, and in
stormy weather in the adjoining corridors, for recreation, under the supervision
of attendants in both cases. At the hour named, all are again assembled in the
several work-rooms and apartments, in which there are seven distinct employments
engaged in under the supervision of an attendant or instructress in each case.
At 5.15 p.m. work ceases, and at 5.30 o'clock the tea-^eUis rung and they are
again assembled for the eveniug meal, under supervision as formerly noted.
After tea, or from 6 to 7 o'clock, the inmates are allowed recreation (in the
corridors in the winter, in the airing yard in summer), and are under the charge of
two or frequently three attendants, and at 7 p.m., the bell is again rung when they
are locked up for the night in the cells or rooms allotted to them. On Sunday the
inmates breakfast at 7 o'clock, after which the Protestants prepare for Sunday-
School which begins at 9.30 a.m., and lasts until 10.30.
At 10.30 the Roman Catholics attend Mass and a service which occupies the
time until the dinner hour, noon.
At 12.30 the inmates are locked in their rooms until a quarter to four o'clock.
From four until five a service for the Protestant inmates is held by a clergyman
103
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
appointed by the Ministerial Association. During this hoar religious instruc-
tions is also given to the Roman Catholic portion of the inmates.
At half-past five the inmates have tea. and at 6'30 all are locked in their
rooms for the night
On working days the engagements during recreation time are: sewing, knitting
crocheting, etc., for their own benefit, and they take the product of their labour
with them upon their leaving the Reformatory. Some devote the time to reading-
books supplied from the library.
In the institution there are twelve distinct or separate wards, besides the
refractory and special apartments, in which the inmates are domiciled for the
night, and these separate compartments afford ample opportunity to make such
selection or classification of the inmates as to provide as fully as possible against
evil communication or contact in any way with the less criminal, and due con-
sideration is given in every case in order to secure the best advantages in this
regard to the younger inmates during the night time.
As formerly noted there are seven different employments engaged in in a
like number of apartments or sections of the building, and the inmates are prac-
tically divided into as many classes during working hours as follows, namely : —
In two laundry rooms, in two ironing rooms, in two working rooms, sewing and
knitting; and distributed through the building doing general domestic work,
there are always a number employed as necessity requires.
In allotting the inmates to their respective places at daily work quite as
much care and judgment is exercised with a view to their proper classification
as is taken in arranging them at night.
During the recreation hours and on Thursday of each week, classes are taught
by a competent instructress, and although attendance is optional, quite a number
avail themselves of the opportunity and make considerable progress in reading,
writing and arithmetic. For some time past Evangelistic services have also been
conducted among the Protestant population of the Reformatory during recreation
hours, and although attendance in this case also is purely voluntary many of
the inmates have been present.
Some evidence of the work accomplished may be had from the records of the
Reformatory, and examination of these shew that since the opening on the 28th
of August, 1880, up to 31st December, 1887, 1,193 inmates have been received,
and the number in residence on the last named date was 124, shewing the total
number discharged to be 1,069. Of the total number so discharged, there have
been 298 recommitted, so that 771 have not reappeared to undergo a second
term. Of the number not recommitted, 188 were between the ages of 15 and 20
years, 148 between the ages of 20 and 30 years, and 435 were 30 years and
upwards. It would be interesting to know what has become of the 771 enumer-
ated who have disappeared from the prison population of the Province. If a
correct census could be had it would, no doubt, be found that a considerable
number had died and that a still greater number have removed from the place of
their commitment, which makes it a hopeless effort and attempt to determine the
matter accurately. Nevertheless, the inference must be that a large number are
now leading respectable lives, for, notwithstanding the limited means and oppor-
tunities at the command of the officials of the Reformatory for keeping track of
discharged inmates, sixty-six of the number at this time of writing are known to
them to maintain honest industrious habits, and to continue to give evidence of
thoroughly reformed lives.
In connection with the foregoing, it is also worthy of note that the popula-
tion of the Reformatory during the first and second years of its existence,
increased so rapidly that in November of 1882 it reached its highest figure, one
104
\
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
hundred and seventy-one, and the highest number of the corresponding months
of each succeeding year has been as follows : —
In November, 1883 it was 114.
1884 " 135.
1885 " 123.
1886 " 100.
1887 " 123.
This marked decrease in the population of the Reformatory cannot certainly
be attributed to a proportionate reduction of the population in the Province at
large, or centres of population from which the inmates were mostly received.
Nor can it be inferred that the judiciary in sentencing criminals have in any way
changed their action in committing offenders for the specific offences for which
they were, for the first two years, sent to the Reformatory.
FrojQ. the foregoing facts, then, it may be fairly concluded that the reforma-
tory influences of the institution may be rightly credited with no small share in
the work of lowering its average population, and in so doing has, to a large
extent, accomplished the object of its establishment.
In the Superintendent's report will be found reference to the number of
times which old offenders have been sent to the Reformatory, and the better
results likely to be realized if those more amenable to its discipline were com-
mitted. There can be no doubt of the fact that so many repeated commitments
is evidence that former sentences have failed to benefit the offenders, and it is
too apparent that after a second or third term, at most, there can be but little hope
of effecting reformed habits or desire for correct living by any length of term in,
or recommitment to the institution. But, if upon a second or third conviction,
longer sentences were imposed, even to the limit of term allowed by law, much
greater good would likely result, owing to the more permanent influences which
Reformatory discipline and training would have.
Advantages to the institution would also result from extended terms under
recommitment, as experience has shewn that in the majority of cases a greater
degree of obedience and general good conduct is developed as the term of
sentence runs on. The habit of conformity, at least, is more established and good
discipline is less encroached upon.
Industrial Refuge for Girls.
It is with pleasure I report that this institution continues to give me much
satisfaction in its working, and that it is accomplishing good objects. During
the past year the number in residence has been larger than at any other time in
the history of the Refuge. The commitments numbered twenty-one, and the
daily average population was forty-four. This number about exhausts the
capacity of the Refuge, but arrangements are in course by which the accommoda-
tion will be increased, so that the work of the Refuge may not be cramped for
want of room.
There is nothing penal about the Refuge. The discipline is no more severe
than that of many a large school ; the children are not kept behind locked doors
and grated windows, but have all the reasonable liberty of a well regulated home.
The Superintendent reports very favourabl}7 upon the conduct of the inmates
and the progress they have made in their training. The object of the Refuge
is not to give these girls an elaborate education from a literary point of view, but
to elevate their moral character, to give them a simple education in the three
105
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
main branches, and to thoroughly train them in domestic duties. The material
sent to the Refuge is not as a rule very promising, many of the children having in
them the hereditary taints of vice, others are of low mental standard, and almost
all have been for years before their admission to the Refuge familiarized with
vice and debased by bad surroundings. Notwithstanding this, the results are in
many cases most gratifying, and many of the former inmates of the Refuge are
are now doing well in service in good homes and leading respectable lives.

The decrease in 1888 is caused by the fact that the account for the coal sup-
ply did not come in until after the year closed. Had this been included, the
aggregate expenditure would have been larger, owing to the greater population
and the increased cost of some articles of food, but the average cost, per inmate
would have been a little less than in 1887.

Minutes of Inspection.
Copies of the reports made by me after my inspections are annexed : —
" I made an inspection of the Andrew Mercer Reformatory for Females on
the 28th February, when the inmates numbered 119. They were distributed
and employed as follows : —
Employed in the public laundry and other work from which
revenue is derived 41
Employed in knitting, mending, and learning various branches
of the Reformatory work 41
Employed in corridor cleaning ; in kitchen, bakery, dining-room
and house laundry •• • \ 23
In nursery, and hospital nurses 6
Incapable 4
Sick 4
Total 119
" There were also seven infants m charge.
" The general health of the institution was reported to be good ; though
there is a slight increase in the number of feeble and incapable inmates. Man}7
of the later entrants were found to be in a very enfeebled condition, largely
owing to the excesses and evil habits of their former lives.
" In view of the incapacity of a very considerable number of the inmates, and
their inability to apprehend even the simplest matters, the discipline and order
of the institution were very well maintained, and the various industries carried
on were in a satisfactory condition. Ample employment has been found for the
108
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
inmates in the usual occupations of knitting, sewing, laundry-work, etc., and all
who were physically able were thus engaged. A larger number than usual, how-
ever, were merely learners.
" Extensive repairs to the heating apparatus were found to be necessary, and
for some weeks past fitters, etc. have been engaged in putting the steam and hot-
water pipes in good order. This work, while in progress, necessarily interferes
with the order and cleanliness of the building, and to someextent, also, with the
routine work of the institution. The repairs are being completed, however, as
speedily as possible, and when the work now in hand is finished, no necessity will
arise for any further refitting or expenditure on this account. Apart from the
unavoidable disorder caused by these alterations, the institution was in an excellent
condition and order, and well kept in all its departments."
" I again inspected the Reformatory for Females on the 23rd October,
when the inmates numbered 115. These women were employed in the same in-
dustries as named in my previous report upon the Reformatory, and in about the
same proportion, the principal branches being the laundry, and the knitting and
sewing rooms. Only six inmates were reported to be unable to work owing to
sickness, and only one was under punishment. In the nursery were nine infants.
" Every part of the building was found to be in good order, with cleanliness
and neatness prevailing.
" The Refuge Branch was also visited. The children then under training-
numbered 49. They were all seen, and I regretted to find that quite a number
of them were mentally defective. Considering the stock many are sprung from,
their surroundings and the want of care bestowed on them in early childhood, it
is hardly a matter for surprise that their mental capacity is not very high.
" Activity prevailed throughout the Refuge, and all the children were busily
occupied with their several duties.
"I made this visit with the principal object of seeing what extra accommo-
dation could be obtained for the Refuge, as the number in residence about
exhausts the capacity of that part of the building set apart for the purposes of
the Refuge. As the result, a recommendation will be made for certain alterations
to be carried out, which will afford some additional accommodation."
In addition to the visits of which formal record has been made, 1 visited the
Reformatory whenever it was necessary for me personally to enquire into smy
matter of detail, or for any other like purpose. Besides this, the Reformatory is
connected by telephone with my office, and constant communication can be kept
up by that means.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT.
Toronto, October 17th, 1888.
R. Christie, Esq.,
Inspector of Prisons and Public Chariti
Sir, — I have the honour of submitting to you the eighth annual report of
the Andrew Mercer Reformatory for females and Refuge for girls, for the year
ending September 30th, ISSN.
October 1st, 1887, we had 117 inmates in custody, with admissions number-
ing 158, during the year.
The number of punishments has been less than they were the year before,
shewing an improvement in the conduct of the inmates. The punishments in
1887, with daily average population of 99^*, were 171 ; this year, with a daily
population of 113|g, they are 130.
I regret that we have been obliged in eleven cases to resort to the punish-
ment of the dark cell.
Better results would be realized if only such young offenders were sent to
the Reformatory as its discipline would be likely to benefit.
It is much to be regretted that Judges and Police Magistrates send us old
offenders, who have no desire to change their lives. During the eight years since
the opening of this Institution, we have had women sent here for the seventh,
eighth, and even ninth time. Surely a trial of two, or at least three, times
should be sufficient to prove that we can do nothing to reform them.
Women of weak intellect are also sent to us, better subjects for a charitable
institution than for a reformatory. These women, as a rule, are given long-
sentences.
I must hei'e call your attention to the large number of incapables committed,
making a daily average of 3|« last year. One was sent from Sudbury, District of
Nipissing, part of whose feet were frozen off and one finger of her right hand
broken. She was unable to give any connected account of herself, and is, of
course, quite unfit for work of any kind. These two classes, on account of their
•mental and physical incapacity, cannot be treated like the other inmates, hence
their presence materially interferes with the discipline of the house.
The work done in the sewing machine shop and in the laundries has given
the utmost satisfaction.
The following is a list of articles made in the sewing department : —
Aprons 219 Ticks. 169
Bonnets 12 Towels 189
Coats 74 Table linen 79
Dresses 153 Underwear 217
Infants' clothing 289 Waists 96

Petticoats 50 Knitting mitts 1,341
Pillowcases 114 « socks 453
Repairing articles 419 " stockings ... 223
Shirts 1.056 Stockings footed 250
The prospect of obtaining work for the coming year is very doubtful.
As in former years, religious services have been regularly carried on. The
Sunday School, under the superintendence of W. H. Howland, Esq., and his co-

workers, on Sunday mornings being regularly attended by the Protestant portion
of the inmates. A service on Sunday afternoon and one on Thursday evening of
each week was held by clergymen appointed by the Ministerial Association. The
Catholic inmates had Mass celebrated and a sermon preached to them every
Sunday morning. Religious instruction was given them during the hours of the
Protestant service.
During the winter months classes were held for all those who wished to
learn to read and write.
The health of the inmates has been good, one death only occurring during
the year.
The daily average number of infants is just double what it was the year
previous — three in 1887 : six this year.

The Chapel has been handsomely painted. The improvement in the garden
and grounds lA very marked. Tli.- yield from the garden was unusually good.
All the summer months the inmates had fresh vegetables four, and sometimes
five, times a week. The root-house is being well stocked; and the fencing
■around the grounds is now completed.

A new refrigerator for meat is required Last summer, as also during the pre-
sent year, it was almost impossible to keep meat fresh, as the walls and top of the
refrigerator now in use were constantly dripping with moisture. A new slide or
elevator to convey food from the kitchen to the officers and attendants' dining-
room is very necessary, as the present one is too cumbersome and heavy for the
children to pull up and down. A lighter and smaller one would answer all the
purposes better.
At the present Assizes, Sir Thomas Gait recommended that the Grand Jury,
in visiting the Asylum for the Insane, Toronto, would do so singly, as the pre-
sence of a large number of people has a bad effect on the patients. This recom-
mendation would apply with equal fitness to the inmates of the Reformatory and
Refuge. I have on two or three occasions suggested to the foreman of the Grand
Jury that it would be well for him to appoint two or three to accompauy him in
the inspection of the Reformatory, as it would answer all the purposes for which
the inspection is made so much better than for the whole body of the jurymen to
go through the house. The suggestion, however, was never acted upon.
I desire to call your attention to the inconvenience frequently arising from
the use of gas in the Institution ; also its poor quality. On two or three occa-
sions the house was in total darkness, all the gas going out suddenly. The intro-
duction of incandescent light would be a great improvement. I understand that
wherever this has been introduced it has been found safe, economical, and the
light of good quality. v
On October 1st, 1887, John Guyette, second engineer, was transferred to the
Orillia Asylum ; James Kelly, of the Institution for the Blind, Brantford, re-
placed him at the Reformatory. Arthur Ewing, gardener, was transferred to
the Normal School ; and John F. Barron was appointed in his place. On October
10th, 1887, Annie Reardon was replaced as housemaid by Margaret Madden.
Each member of the staff has striven to perform his or her duty, and, as in
former years, they have ably assisted me in carrying out the discipline of the
Reformatory.
Refuge Branch.
Thirty-nine girls were in the Refuge at the commencement of the year.
The daily average population is higher than it has ever been before, being 44.
Twenty-one were admitted during the year, of these six were transferred
from the Reformatory.
The dismissals number eleven ; four by expiration of sentence, seven by
apprenticeship.
Of the four whose sentence had expired, two were sent to situations out of
the city ; one went to the Convent of the Good Shepherd, Parkdale ; one to St.
Paul, Minn., with parents.
Of the seven who were apprenticed four were taken by relatives, three by
responsible parties who were not relatives.
All these girls, with the exception of two, are at the present time doing well;
they keep up a regular correspondence with the Refuge.
Those who were apprenticed during the year were fortunate in being placed
in good Christian homes.
I am well pleased with the general working of the Refuge. Marked im-
provement has been made in the different classes, and what I consider is even of
more importance to girls in their position, is that they sew, knit and darn well.
I am often surprised to see the beautiful work that is done by those children.
The domestic work has also been well attended to ; some of the girls are
very fair cooks, others excel in house-maid's work.

The majority of the children are obedient, docile, and well behaved, and are
seldom reported for any serious offence.
A few are naturally vicious, and require the greatest watchfulness to prevent
them corrupting the younger children. Many of these girls, I regret to say, are
mentally below the average.
The number of children in the Refuge is increasing so fast that more room
will be required for their accommodation ; at present the dormitories and school-
rooms are filled.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,

REPORT OF THE SURGEON.
Toronto, 1st October, 1888.
Robert Christie, Esq.,
Inspector of Prisons and Public Charities.
Sir, — I have the honour of herewith submitting to you ray eighth annual
report as Surgeon of the Andrew Mercer Ontario Reformatory for Females, and
the Industrial Refuge for Girls, for the year ending September 30th, 1888.
The Reformatory for Females.
I am able once more to report a satisfactory health condition in the Reforma-
tory, considering the number of inmates, the sources from which they come, and
other circumstances. There have been very few cases of a serious character, and
only one death during the year, which is alluded to elsewhere. Aside from the
many ailments common to both sexes, an institution of the character of the Re-
formatory will necessarily have those ailments peculiar to the female sex, but in
addition thereto, there will be a greater liability to a certain class of diseases, on
account of the life of prostitution led by a large proportion of those admitted.
Their lives are prolific of both predisposing and exciting causes of disease, and it
is not, therefore, to be wondered at that the percentage of those sick and requir-
ing treatment, should be greater here than in most other public institutions.
The admission of pregnant women, and mothers with young infants, as well as
insane women, and those debilitated by debauch, disease, or advanced years, so
as to render them chronic invalids, tends to make the percentage under treat-
ment much larger than it would be under ordinary circumstances, even in the
fac.e of excellent sanitary and hygienic precautions, adapted to reduce the devel-
opment of disease in the institution to a minimum. Though several insane
women were admitted the past year, they were of a harmless class. Some of
them are incapable of profitable work and require extra attentions.
The number of new inmates during the year was 158. I saw these either
on the day of their arrival, or on the following day, and noted their physical and
mental condition, and where there was not ocular evidence of well defined vaccine
scars, I resorted to vaccination as a precautionary measure. The number requir-
ing and receiving vaccination was, however, only nineteen. This practice o
vaccinating I have followed since the opening of the institution, whether small-
pox was prevalent or not, for inmates come from all Actions of the country, and
some from localities and abodes where such would be likely to develop if
anywhere.
The number of women admitted afflicted with syphilis was in excess of any
previous year. The same remark applies to the infant population. These will
both be referred to under separate headings.
Owing to the increased number of syphilitic cases there is a material increase
in the consumption of the more expensive medicines, and a larger annual allow-
ance will be necessitated to meet the growing increase.
The daily average population of the Reformatory and Refuge, including the
staff and the babies, was about 190 ; while the total expenditure for medicine and
appliances was about $206.45, or nearly 57 cents per day for both institutions ;
as nearly as may be a cost per inmate of about three mills daily, an amount
scarcely adequate when considered in connection with the following statement
of those under treatment.
122
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
The average daily number of inmates during the year, other than the
occupants of the hospital and syphilitic wards, who presented themselves for
treatment, was 5.04. Add to this the daily average of inmates under
treatment in the syphilitic ward, and which was about 12.67, and the daily aver-
age under treatment in the hospital, which was 1.75, and you get a total, exclusive
of the staff, refuge and nursery, under treatment of 19.46, or double that of the
preceding year. On the other hand, the daily average of those sick, wholly inca-
pacitated for work, was, in hospital, 1.75; and casuals or temporary sick, 1.11 ;
making a total of 2.86, an excess over the preceding year.
I have frequently examined the meals of inmates, have partaken of the food,
and have satisfied myself that the diet was nutritious, well cooked, and varied
from time to time, and withal abundant in quantity. Not a single complaint
was made to me by an inmate touching either the quality or quantity during the
entire year. Were proof required that no occasion presented for fault finding on
either score* it could be found in the improved physical condition of the inmates,
who, with scarcely an exception, increased in weight, some to an extent of fifteen
or twenty pounds, or even more.
Inspections of the various departments such as hospital, nursery, workshops,
kitchen, cells and bedding, and corridors and closets, have shewn' a satisfactory
state of cleanliness, ventilation and warmth.
When desired by the Superintendent or Deputy, I have assisted in determin-
ing the character of work for which particular inmates were adapted ; and like-
wise have had occasion to direct changes to be made in keeping with the physical
capabilities of individual cases.
A matter to which I have never before alluded in a report, but which I am
constrainei to mention now, is the conduct and manners of inmates towards
myself, and the repeated evidence of kind appreciation of those whose disease
and suffering I have striven to ameliorate. Inmates, with rare exceptions, have
shewn me every respect by word and act. Many come to me before their depar-
ture to thank me for what I have dome for them, thus shewing their appreciation
of efforts made on their behalf.
The relationship wTith the staff, as in previous years, has continued
pleasant.
The Reformatory and Refuge Stof.
The staff, which numbers 28, have escaped any serious or prolonged illness
the past year, a few days at most being the limit of time. One attendant re-
signed on account of debilitated condition, due to lung trouble. Following were
the ailments and treatments, viz. : — Abscess, 1 ; bilious, 4 ; cold, 14 ; cough, 10
congestion of kidneys, 3 ; congestion of lungs, 1 ; conjunctivitis, 3 ; colic, 2
diarrhoea, 1 ; erythema, 2 ; nausea, 1 ; pain, 3 ; rheumatism, 3 ; sore throat, 5
sprain, 3 ; weakness and want of appetite, 22 ; and wound, 1.
The Reformatory Hospital.
Of the total inmates twenty-one spent some portion of their term of sentence
in the hospital of the Reformatory, being fifty per cent, more than the preceding
year. The year opened without any hospital patient, and there was no occupant
at the close. Of those who occupied the hospital, two were twice admitted
thereto for a short period each on both occasions.
Nine of the twenty-one gave birth to children.
Eight inmates spent from 1 to 10 days in hospital.

Four " " "21 to 30 " "
123
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 188&
Five of the remaining six inmates were cases of childbirth preceded by some
of the disorders of pregnancy, or followed by sequelce — one of the five had puer-
pural convulsions, and one subsequent puerpural mania. The five cases spent
49, 55, 66, 100. and 106 days respectively, in the hospital, and one case of con-
gestion of the lungs spent 60 days in the hospital. Mary Linsted, one of the
hospital cases who had previously been ailing with heart disease, complicated
with congestion of the lungs, only survived eight days. This death occurred
while I was absent for my holidays in June, my place being supplied by Dr.
Lynd, who did the best possible for the patient, and for others requiring his aid.
Dr. Lynd has my thanks for his kind attention fo my duties during my absence.
An inquest was held by Coroner Powel on the above case, and a verdict rendered
in accordance with the facts.
The Syphilitic Ward.
The past year there were thirty-one inmates under treatment for syphilis in
the specific ward, as against sixteen the preceding year, or nearly double. Of
that number eleven were in the ward at the beginning of the year, and had spent
varied periods of time varying from three to 365 days previously in the ward.
Of the total number nineteen were either discharged from the ward cured, or left
by expiration of sentence during the year, leaving twelve inmates on the 30th
day of September, 1888. The largest number under treatment at any one time
during the year was seventeen, six more than the preceding year, and three
more than in any year since the opening of the institution. The daily average
of cases under treatment for the year in this department was 12.67, as against
4.84 the preceding year. Owing to the short term sentences of some inmates
their term expires before cure can be effected ; some of these, in course of time,
during the serving of successive sentences, occupy this ward twice or oftener.
Again, some of those who have spent a short time in the ward the year just
closed, have spent time the preceding year, and some of those in at the close of
the past year will remain for some time the ensuing year. Of the thirty-one
cases three have only been inmates of the ward for ten days or less.
4 have spent from 11 to 50 days in the ward.
3 " " 51 " 100
6 " " 101 " 150
4 " " 151 " 200
4 " " 201 " 250
6 " " 251 " 300
One spent the entire year. This latter case, also spent 112 days the previous
year in the same ward. The case was, with some few others of the older inmates,
of long standing, and treatment had been neglected, their bodies becoming inroads
of this terribly loathsome disease to an extent that made them wrecks of human-
ity. The treatment, combined with their changed mode of life, care, comfort,
nourishment, cleanliness, regularity of labor, rest and recreation, all combining to
renew their vitality and health, and give them new hopes of life, making them
cheerful and encouraging them to new resolution for good. If no other object
were attained in this institution the result justifies the effort. This class cannot
be rated as hospital cases owing to their general capability for some kind of work,
while hospital cases are sick or injured, and wholly incapable for the time being
for work.

The Lying-in Department and Nursery.
This feature of the Reformatory, though now apparently necessary, was evi-
dently not expected to assume such proportions when the institution was opened.
While Judges and Magistrates continue to commit women for crimes who are
carrying young infants in their arms, or who are pregnant, the Reformatory
officials must receive them. As I have reported before, the bringing in of infants
necessarily interferes with both the work of the mothers and the discipline of the
institution, as well as increases the Surgeon's labors. The same thing holds good
regarding the pregnant women admitted, some ot whom, as has been the case the
past year, have required considerable treatment for ailments due entirely to their
pregnant condition, and their subsequent indisposition and inability to work. Of
these two classes during the past year there have been more than usual, no less than
seven mothers bringing their infants into the institution with them, while nine of
the pregnant women gave birth to a child each. No less than twenty babies have
required attention during the year, and I am pleased to say that though there
has been more or less sickness no death occurred in this department. The ail-
ments of the infants were as follows: — Abrasion, 1; constipation, o; cutting
teeth, 2; cough, 4; diarrhcea, 4; hernia, 2; indigestion, 5; marasmus, 5; ophthal-
mia, 1 ; and sore mouth, 2.
At the beginning of the year there were four babies in the institution,
during the year seven came in with their mothers, while nine were born, viz., six
boys and three girls, making a total of twenty. Of this number ten left with
their mothers and one was sent out without the mother, thus leaving nine babies
in the nursery at the end of the year. It will be seen that in this department
there were over double the number of babes admitted, and nine births, as against
two last year. The number of babes at the close of last year in this department
was four, while this year it is nine.

Industrial Refuge for Girls.
For the eighth time I ain able to report favorably upon the health of the
girls of the Refuge. At the beginning of the year there were 39 inmates ; and
21 new ones were admitted during the year, making a total of 60. Of this
number one girl had inherited consumption and was removed to a relative's home,
with that exception none were seriously ill. There are a number of the Refuge
girls whose minds appear to have been dwarfed by neglect before reaching the
Refuge, and who give poor promise of being able for self-support and protection
when the time arrives for their departure from the Refuge. It would appear
necessary that State guardianship should continue to be exercised over them, for
it seems improbable that they will find anyone to assume a parental or foster
care over them, with so little prospect of future usefulness before them.
The secret vice which at one time threatened to become ungovernable has well
nigh become eradicated. The course adopted has been to speak with candor,
and to point out the grave results which follow its practice, and to appeal to the
self-respect of the girls. In extreme cases, extreme measures were suggested as
a deterent. I feel that the Refuge has been singularly fortunate in that no death
has yet occurred among the inmates. This satisfactory state of affairs is not
alone due to the sanitary condition of the building, but likewise largely due to
the habits of regularity in all matters of work or pleasure, rest or sleep, and
wholesome diet. The girls are happy and cheerful, and the Refuge is their
home, rather than prison. The Refuge justly merits a greater share of the
attention of judges and magistrates.

Report on the Reformatory Sunday School.
With gratitude we state that our record of work this year is particularly
interesting and encouraging. God's Word has been faithfully taught, and accord-
ing to promise good results have followed.
The school has been in session every Lord's Day morning throughout the
year, and the Saturday afternoon class held regularly. In addition to these
9 (P.) 129
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
meetings, one or two of the teachers have remained for weeks at a time, on the
Lord's Day morning, and held an " after-meeting " at the close of the school.
At these meetings the inmates have taken part, engaging in prayer, giving
testimony, and selecting and singing the Gospel Hymns, with spirit and evident
enjoyment.
The average attendance of teachers for the year is twenty, the majority
attending with great regularity.
The total attendance of adults for the year is 3,831. Average attend-
ance 73.
Total attendance of children for the year was 2,004. Average attendance 38.
Several of the inmates were provided with good situations by the teachers,
and two of the children from the Industrial Refuge were cared for.
A clothing committee was organized early in the year, and with the assistance
of the superintendents of the institution, have provided for the needy ones.
The officers and attendants ably supplement the efforts of the teachers, and
the work is supported by the prayers of God's people in many places.
We still respectfully urge the establishment of an Inebriate Home for
women, and in support of the suggestion mention the case of a young woman not
more than 26 or 28 years of age, who has spent most of the time for the
past three years in the Reformatory. There seems to be no hope for her without
a thorough course of treatment, as she inherits from one of her parents a terrible
thirst for strong drink.
We also call the attention of the Government to the fact, that in the
children's Refuge, comparatively innocent children of tender years, are associating
daily with older girls of twelve and fourteen years of age, who, when admitted,
were old in vice and depravity. The officers do all that is possible to prevent
injury to the little ones, but the evil results of daily influence and example
cannot be prevented. Separation is the only cure.

REFORMATORY FOR BOYS.
The matter of most importance to be referred to in connection with the
Reformatory for Boys is the appearance of diphtheria therein last winter. In
my minutes of inspection , which are embodied in this report, full particulars are
given with regard to the outbreak of the disease; the supposed cause, and the
measures adopted to prevent a repetition. Although the number of boys
attacked was large, I am thankful to say that in no case was the termination
fat"1!. This, I think, speaks well for the care and attention bestowed upon the
boys by the surgeon aud other officers of the Eeformatory. For a time too
pneumonia prevailed in the Institution, and one boy, who was pre-disposed to
lung disease, succumbed. With these exceptions, the ordinary routine of the
Reformatory was not disturbed. The tables attached to the Superintendent's
report shew that a very considerable amount of work was done by the bo}'s in
the farm, the garden, the carpenter, shoe and tailoring shops, and in miscellane-
ous works about the premises. The report of the examiner of the schools is on
the whole quite favourable.
The summary given below shews the operation of the Reformatory during
the year under report as well as in the two preceding ones.

The number of commitments during 1888 was larger than for several years
past. The number of reprieves too was unusually high. Many of these remis-
sions were obtained on the direct recommendation of the Superintendent and

Inspector, on the gi-ound of good conduct. Others were obtained by petition
of the parents and friends of the inmates.
For the first time for several years, the loss of boys by death has to be
recorded, as two boys died during the year, one from pneumonia, as before stated,
and one from phthisis. The latter was an Indian boy who reached the Reform-
atory in a nearly dying state.

As will be seen from the above table, the expenditure during 1888 was-
largely in excess of that in 1887. . The principal increases are under the headings,
of rations, bedding and clothing, fuel, light and cleaning, furniture, hospital
expenses, repairs, recovery of escaped boys, etc., and, as shewn in the fol-
lowing paragraph, were largely due to the two outbreaks of sickness already
referred to.
As regards the rations, the contract price for meat and flour were both higher
than in the previous year, and by a change in the dietary an extra ration of bread
is now given to the boys three nights a week. The potato crop of the Reforma-
tory farm failed, and potatoes had to be bought at a high price. Then, of course,
the diphtheretic patients, when in the convalescent stage, required extra and
special rations. Also the nurses who were'hired to look after them, and who had
to be boarded in the Reformatory. With reference to the clothing, the stock had
been allowed to run down during 1887, and consequently extra purchases had to
be made during 1888. There was at the close of 1888 a large stock on hand of
both made-up suits, etc., and material. Furniture. — The new house for the
132
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
Superintendent was opened and a good deal of furniture was required for it.
Large purchases had to be made for the hospital too, in consequence of the
diphtheria. Hospital. — The increase here was caused by the outbreak of sick-
ness. Undei this head is charged the wages of the special nurses, extra medical
attendance, etc. Repairs. — The increase under this head is caused by the
extensive works found to be necessary in order to put the Reformatory into a
good sanitary condition. Recovering Escaped Boys. — A good deal of this item
properly belongs to the previous year, as expenses were paid for recapturing boys
who escaped in 1887, but for whom rewards, etc., were not claimed until too late
to be included in the accounts of that year. Fuel. — An extra quantity was
bought in 1888, some of which was on hand at the close of the year, as the
consumption did not reach the estimate. The price of wood too was higher.
Incidentals. — The charges under this head are higher than usual, as there were
many unlooked for expenses arising out of the sickness of the boys, and of the
work' of repair and alteration.
Inspections.
Copies of the minute made by me of my various inspections are appended : —
" I made an inspection of the Reformatory for Boys on the 27th and 28th
December. The necessity for my visit at this time was due to the reported
appearance of cases of diphtheria in the institution. Owing to the outbreak of so
serious a disease the Secretary of the Board of Health was at once communicated
with, and an immediate visit by him in company with the surgeon of the institu-
tion, arranged for the purpose of investigating as to the cause of the disease and
adopting means for its arrest.
" There were 190 boys in charge, eight of whom were under treatment for
the disease, and those affected were placed in the Protestant Chapel, where special
advantages in regard to isolation and ventilation were secured. Two of the boys
first attacked were in a very low condition, owing to the short time which elapsed
before the disease was sufficiently developed to warrant rigorous treatment for
their relief. Prompt action, however, had been taken as soon as the nature of
the disease could be discovered, and the prospect of good convalescence appears in
both cases to be pretty well assured.
" On the day previous to my visit consideration had been given to the matter
with the view of discovering the probable cause of the infection, and to the pos-
sibility of the contagion having been carried by boys transferred from infected
districts or gaols to this Reformatory. Although cases of the disease were reported
from several gaols of the Province, no evidence could be had to indicate that it
had been transmitted in this way, and consequently strict enquiry and inspection
was made with the view of discovering any local cause for it. The food and milk
supplies were examined, and enquiry was made in regard to the health of the
families of the officials and sanitary condition of their residence, without dis-
covering specific cause for its appearance.
" A thorough inspection of the institution premises was then entered upon,
and all drains, traps, latrines, inside and outside of the building, were examined,
and the condition of the plumbing generally, together with the heating appliances,
ventilation of the dormitories, and the condition of the basement was also noted,
without discerning any specific source from which the disease would likely be
developed. A subsequent analysis of the water shewed it to be good and pure
and suitable for domestic use, and therefore not likely to contain disease germs
which would cause the infection.
133
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
" The most likely cause for its appearance, however, seemed to exist in th&
unsanitary condition of the building' generally. Extensive alterations and
improvements had been in progress during the autumn and early winter, and one
of the works referred to was the renewal of the floors in the principal halls. These
had become much worn, dilapidated, and from the frequent washings, were satur-
ated with water, and the result is that a fungus growth is produced on the under
side, which upon exposure has a very offensive smell, and must produce a very
unhealthy condition throughout the building.
" The boys did the work of pulling up and removing the decayed flooring
and consequently were exposed to any bad odour arising from it.
" These conditions and conclusions led to further investigation in regard to
the state of the dormitories, floors, ceilings, basement drains, etc., etc., all of which
were shewn to be in a bad condition, and requiring renewals in many cases to
put the Reformatory in proper order.
" In view of the extensive repairs required, together with the necessity for a
thorough renovation of the entire building, in order to secure immunity from the
infection, the matter will be specially reported upon and authority requested to-
have the work proceeded with at once, and in the meantime, and while such work
is in progress, instructions are to abandon the main building as far as possible,
and remove the boys from the schools and dormitories C and D to dormitories A
and B, and utilize the carpenter's shop as a school room. These arrangements
will secure complete isolation for the sick, and as far as possible protect the other
boys from the infection.
" The grating from some of the windows in dormitory C will necessarily have
to be removed in order to admit of ingress and egress without passing through
the halls of the main building, and it is to be hoped that with the precautions
taken and the means for disinfecting used, that the spread of the disease will be
arrested."
" Owing to the continued spread of diphtheria among the boys of the Re-
formatory, I made another inspection of the institution on the 5th and 6th of
January.
" Since the date of my last visit the number of cases have increased, and
there are now eighteen reported.
" Renewed efforts have been made with the hope of specifically determining
the cause of infection, but beyond the unsatisfactory condition of the basement
and floors formerly mentioned and the worn-out state of the plumbing, nothing
has been discovered.
"All the means suggested by the Secretary and Chairman of the Provincial
Board of Health, both of whom were present on this occasion, wall be adopted,
with the hope that the progress of the disease will be arrested, and the work of
renovation and improvements which have been authorized will be proceeded
with at once.
" No transfer of boys from the different points of commitment have been
made, and no removals will be effected until the epidemic ceases.
" It is gratifying to note that thus far no fatal termination has resulted, and
that those first attacked are progressing towards convalescence.
" The rooms now occupied by the lads, although to some extent overcrowded,
are well ventilated, light and airy, and conducive to the proper treatment of the
afflicted.

" I made an inspection of this institution on the 27th and 28th April, when
the population numbered 187 boys, distributed as follows: —

" Of the twelve in the sick room six were isolated so as to insure entire
immunity from infection. Six were ill with diphtheria, and the others were
suffering from pneumonia ; the latter were domiciled in the upper west dormi-
tory, and, with one exception, they were in a convalescent condition.
"A peculiar feature of the diphtheretic cases now under treatment is that this
reappearance of the disease has occurred after a lapse of ten weeks, without a,
single case of it in the interim. A strict investigation must be made with a view
of determining as to the probable cause of its reappearance. The disease has in
all the cases been of the mildest type, and no serious results are apprehended
with regard to any of them.
" I examined the works of renewal, etc., which have been in progress for
some time, and, so far as completed, everything has been done in a thorough and
creditable manner. The renewals of the drains and improvements in ventilation
— all of which will be finished in the course of a few days — have been properly
carried out. The concreting of the entire basement and the re-flooring of the
dormitories, together with the sheeting of the ceilings, are neatly and substan-
tially finished.
" The kalsomining in the basement is also well done, and the alterations in
the bath room, painting the chapels, putting new ceiling in Protestant chapel,
and thoroughly renovating the dining room have also been completed in a satis-
factory manner.
" With the exception of the recreation room, which has been in use as a sick
room, the institution throughout presents a neat and tidy appearance, and it is to
be hoped that all these improvements will add as much to the sanitary condition
of the building as they do to its general appearance.

" I made a visit of inspection to the Reformatory for Boys on the 27th, 28th
and 29th June. On two days of my visit there were 194 boys in charge, distri-
buted as follows :
Carpenters' shop 4
Tailors' " 10
Engine-room 5
Stables 4
Farm 2
Garden 9
Cooks and bakers 4
Dining-hall 4

Total 194
" Since the date of my last visit, on the 28th April, four cases of diphtheria
have occurred at intervals, and the last one, though still confined to the sick-
room, is making good progress, and no bad results are likely to follow.
" A singular feature respecting these last cases is that a period of ten weeks
elapsed after the disease had disappeared before they were developed, and none
of the boys last attacked were in the Reformatory at the time of the first out-
break. It does not appear that these later attacks are traceable to any local
cause.
" The buildings, from basement to attic, have been thoroughly renovated, and
no pains spared to put the premises in a satisfactory and thoroughly sanitary
condition.
"The health record of the institution, however, is not as satisfactory as it
might be, and it will be noted that in the distribution, as given above, fifteen
boys were reported in hospital ; seven of these were ill with pneumonia, five
being confined to bed ; two were convalescent ; and the condition of the
remainder was not serious — all were making favourable progress. This is not a
very satisfactory condition to report, but it is probable that the ailment arises
from controllable causes, such as exposure to cold after violent exercise in the
playgcoun 1, etc. Precautions against such indiscretion should be taken in the
future.
" Although sixty-five cases of diphtheria have occurred since the first
appearance of the disease, it is gratifying to record that up to the present time
not a death has resulted from that cause in the institution. The families of the
officials, however, have not been so fortunate, three deaths having occurred
among them — two children and one adult.
136
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
" Instructions were given to have the infected quarters thoroughly renovated,
and put in the be>t sanitary condition.
" The concreting of the entire basement of the main building has made a
great improvement in all its apartments, in excluding the dampness underneath
the tioors. Some slight defects, however, in this regard were noticeable in the
walls, the walls having been constructed at a lower grade than the outside level.
Drains will have to be laid outside of the building to carry away any surface
water. Instructions were given to have this work done immediately, the drains
to be placed at a lower level than the basement floor, in order to thoroughly pro-
tect it from dampness.
" The sick-room or hospital accommodation of the institution is not equal to
the requirements in event of an outbreak of disease such as has recently been ex-
perienced, and although the Protestant chapel, which has been used for months
past as an hospital, on account of its excellent ventilation, light and temperature,
has proved to be well suited to the purpose, yet it is manifest that a continuance
of its use in that way would be improper, and render it unfit for the purpose for
which it was set apart. In view of this fact, its occupation as an hospital should
be discontinued at the earliest possible date.
" Now, that the basement has been made perfectly dry, it can be used for
storerooms, and the present storerooms be converted into tailor shop and shoe
shop ; and the rooms now devoted to those industries can be fitted up for a
schoolroom and hospital respectively. As but little outlay will be necessary in
converting these latter apartments and in putting them in good condition as
regards heating and ventilation, the work will be proceeded with at once.
" The scholars in the different classes appear to be making satisfactory pro-
gress, and the literary work is fairly well accomplished.
" The training of the boys in the various industries is being well prosecuted
in the carpenter shop, in the tailor shop, and shoe shop ; also in farm and garden
work the lads are kept well employed.
" In this regard, however, the question may well be considered whether
sufficient attention is paid to instructing the boys in such work as will enable
them to take a fair position among their fellows when discharged from the
Reformatory. After due consideration, representations will be made with a
view to giving the lads initiatory instruction in the various trades, such as
masonry, bricklaying, stone-cutting, plastering, painting, and other industries of
a like character, so that at the time of their discharge they may be better fitted
for acquiring proficiency in any particular trade wrhich they may decide to follow
for a livelihood.
" Such a training would thus materially contribute to their well-being and
prosperity when no longer under the care and discipline of the institution."
School Examination.
The Reformatory Schools were examined by Mr. Isaac Day, one of the Public
School Inspectors of the County of Simcoe. A copy of his report is annexed : —
" I have the honour to present to you my first annual report of the inspection
of the schools at the Reformatory for Boys, Penetanguishene. •
"I found the teachers hard-working, earnest men, who are not labouring for
mere show, but are conscientiously and successfully doing what they believe is
their duty, and who are earning every cent of their salaries.
"I spent October 9th in the room of Mr. Ferguson, junior Protestant teacher.
I found there in all sixty-six boys, thirty-three in the forenoon and thirty-three
137
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
in the afternoon. Of these, forty-four were in the Second Book, eleven in the
second part of the First Book, and eleven in the Primer.
"The subjects taught there were arithmetic, reading, writing, spelling and
temperance.
" October 10th I spent in the room of Mr. Yorrell, Catholic teacher. There
were present fifty-three, thirty in the forenoon and twenty-three in the after-
noon. Of these, nine were in the Fifth Reader, eight in the Fourth, twenty-
three in the Third, nine in the Second, four in the Primer.
" The subjects taught were arithmetic, reading, writing, spelling, composition,
geography, book-keeping, grammar and temperance.
" I spent the 11th of October in the room of Mr. Murphy, senior Protestant
teacher. He had fifty-four boys, twenty-three in the forenoon and thirty-one in
the afternoon. Twenty-three of these were in the Fourth Reader and thirty-one
in the Third Reader.
" The subjects taught were arithmetic, reading, writing, spelling, composition,
geography, grammar, temperance and a little history.
" Of the 159 boys in school during my visit, nine were in the Fifth Reader,
thirty-one in the Fourth, forty in the Third, fifty-three in the Second and
twenty-six in the First.
" The teachers have great control over the boys while in school, and there
seems to be a kind feeling between them and the latter. The discipline was
good.
" I will now make a few remarks about the proficiency of the pupils in the
several subjects, and about the proper way to teach them.
" Redding. — On the whole the boys read quite as well as the corresponding-
classes of the average public schools do ; but though the majority read with
ease and intelligence, there were occasionally to be heard that mumbling, in-
audible tone, that mal-pronunciation, monotony and lack of distinct articulation.
" Reading should be taught every day, and when I say ' should be taught,' I
mean that a lesson should not be assigned without any attempt by the teacher
to show how it should be read. Where this is forgotten, the wrong way is just
as apt to be prepared as the correct way, thus perpetuating errors. The teacher
should dwell on every lesson with his pupils before allowing them to read alone.
He should teach the meaning of the passage, should have it read simultaneously
after him, (where these two rules are followed carefully there will be very little
bad reading) should give short lessons, should occasionally ask the boys the
meaning of the different passages, thus cultivating intelligent reading. When a
mistake is made by a pupil, instead of the teacher's saying, ' read it again,' he
should point out the mistake himself, or have the other pupils point it out, lead
the passage correctly, and then get the pupil to read. In all the classes the
blackboard should be constantly used. Script should be used from the first.
The pupils should copy from the blackboard the lesson that has just been taught.
Phonics should be taken up systematically, as it is only by systematic training
that boys can be made to speak distinctly. Finally, if the teacher is careful to
allow no slovenly method, corrects the mistakes of the pupils, and remembers
that the more nearly the boys approach their natural manner of talking, he will
have gooct readers.
" Arithmetic. — The several classes were scarcely equal to the corresponding
classes of the Public Schools. Notation and numeration were somewhat neg-
lected. Although some time was spent in mental arithmetic I do not think quite-
enough was spent in it. Some of the boys in the Fourth and Fifth Readers,
could do simple questions in interest and could do them intelligently also.
138
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
" I would suggest that the teachers keep in mind the four great objects
aimed at in teaching this subject, viz. — quickness,- accurateness, neatness, and
mental power — the last being the most important.
" Arithmetic should be taught in the lowest classes, by reference to objects,
and these should be used until the pupils are able to perform the different pro-
cesses of addition, etc., without the objects being presented. Notation and
numeration should be taught thoroughly ; for if so taught no difficulty will be
found in mastering the reasons of the subsequent steps in multiplication and
division. The teacher should remember that in this subject particularly all that
he does for his pupils that they could be led to do for themselves is lost. He
should not ask the questions and answer them himself. As much of the mere
mechanical work, so persistently used by lazy teachers, as is possible should be
abolished. This subject is the logic of the Public Schools and should be so taught
as to cause the pupil to think. Every lesson should be short, practical, lively,
interesting, and the result will be thoroughness and ability.
" Writing. — In this subject the results are really wonderful, far above that
of any public school I know of. I took some copies from several of Mr.
Yorrell's boys to show the teachers in my inspectorate what is being done at the
Reformatory.
" Spelling. — This subject seems to be well taught. The boys could, with few
exceptions, spell orally and from dictation the words of their Readers. I think
it would be well for every boy to write from dictation as soon as he can on paper,
not on slate. In preparing the lesson he should transcribe it very carefully. The
errors should be diligently corrected.
" Book-keeping. — The boys in the upper forms could write promissory notes,
due bills, receipts, etc., very neatly.
" Very little history or geography is taught. I think it is a very great pity
that the most important parts of the history of our country are not dwelt upon,
and that at least the geography of Ontario is not thoroughly taught.
" English. — This subject is too much neglected. The reason is that too
much time is taken up with the three r's under the mistaken idea that a man is
more thoroughly equipped for life if he has a fair knowledge of these subjects
rather than to be able to express himself with correctness, ease, fluency and
gracefulness on any subject coming within range of his comprehension. The
latter, I think, would make him a more useful and desirable citizen than the
former.
" But how is this to be accomplished ?
" (1) By giving the pupil a more thorough knowledge of grammar and
composition.
" (2) By the teacher's using only elegant language in his intercourse with
his pupils and by his accepting only such from them.
" (3) By giving the pupils a more thorough knowledge of their reading
books.
" (4) By having the pupils commit to memory all the beautiful poetry of
their reading book^.
"(5) By putting into the boys' hands some of the easier works of our
standard authors and by encouraging the reading of them.
"(6) By a more extensive use of Object Lessons.
139
5'2 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
" In conclusion I would make the following recommendations :
" (1) That the Manual of Temperance be not put into the hands of the pupils,
but that the teachers give in short, famliar conversations, the matter of the book
on a level with the comprehension of the boys.
" (2) That a partition (not a glass one) be put down the middle of Mr-
Murphy's room, and that one room so formed be given to Mr. Ferguson. His
pi-esentroom is only 18 x 22, while Mr. Murphy's is 40 x 50. Mr. Ferguson's is far
too small while Mr. Murphy's is too large."

Surgeon, Chaplain, School Masters and the usual Statistical Tables : —
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT.
Penetanguishene, November 3rd, 1888.
Sir, — I have the honour to submit the Twenty-ninth Annual Statistical
Report of the Ontario Reformatory for Boys, for the year ending 30th September,
1888. The usual summary of the proceedings, events, results, etc., of the year are
given below.
When gifted with a well-stored mind and the power to wield a facile pen
it is an easy task to write fluently and gracefully on any subject, no matter how
dry. To those so blessed every subject would be treated so as to be agreeably
readable. Even should interesting facts and incidents be scarce or altogether
wanting, graceful periods, clothed in appropriate language, will relieve whatever
may be the theme from becoming monotonous. But where mental barreness is
the equipment, or rather non-equipment, any literary task involving much mind
labour is to one so circumstanced next to impossible, and this is the condition in
which the writer finds himself when taking up the pen to prepare a condensed
history of the results of the year just ended. Year after year for the past nine
years crude attempts, including the present one, have been made to discharge the
obligation necessitating an annual summing up of each year's transactions. So
far as the merely mechanical portion of the work — the preparation of the
Statistical Tables, etc. — was concerned it was comparatively easy, therefore
promptly executed, but the undertaking which involves that one should outline
the moral, mental and material progress attained each recurring year where the
environment cannot be susceptible of any great annual change, and where the
human subjects are of much the same type as those preceding them, it becomes
a task difficult for common-place ability to accomplish satisfactorily. Still, it
being imperative, that a review of the year's work be furnished in order that
analysis be made, the duty thus made incumbent must, without further pre-
amble, perforce be attempted, no matter how blunderingly.
Hitherto it has been my endeavour to keep well within the record when
describing affairs as they presented themselves to me, from day to day, during
each official year, and this prudent rule will, I hope, govern me when reviewing
matters connected with the progress made during the past year. At this point
I find myself in the difficulty foreshadowed above, that of saying something
new or, failing that, to make the old story seem new by transposing the phrase-
ology and thus give, what 1 aim to say, an appearance of originality. Still, were
140
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (Xo. 2). A. 1889
I sufficiently an adept in the art of word-painting to compass this, the picture
would not be true to nature, as no matter how nearly each year's observations
resemble those of the years preceding there are, in each succeeding year, many
new types of character presented, differing widely, yet, to the cursory observer,
apparently identical. Whatever monotony there may be in the description,
monotony is not in order when contemplating the many and varied charac-
teristics emphasized in the ever changing groups of active, energetic boys and
youths under our care.
An inward monitor, anticipating the action you would surel}7, take after
reading so far, warns me to cease idle speculation and to proceed with my report.
Giving heed to the justly merited admonition I will now take up the thread
dropped when introducing the digressive paragraph immediately preceding.
To insure success in the complete reformation of wayward, misguided and
delinquent youth and boyhood three all-important aids to that end must be
brought into active operation and be intelligently applied, viz., thorough religious
instruction, elementary scholastic education and practical industrial training.
Through the medium of the first the mind and heart of each are awakened and
made to understand the duties they owe and the responsibilities they incur to God
and their neighbour. The second also exercises a healthy influence on the mind,
causing it to expand and drilling it into habits of method and order, likewise
enabling those acquiring it to lift themselves out of the rut in which, probably
through no fault on their part, their previous ignorance had placed them. By
the third they become fitted to be self-supporting and thus take a respectable place
among the honest toilers of the land. Endowed wTith these three fundamental and
inseparable requisites they may aim to reach and can, if the effort be well and
conscientiously directed, attain, when free to use their energies, any position of
honour and emolument common to their fellow- workers in the world without.
It is not sufficient that the bodies of our inmates should be fed, clothed and
otherwise protected, their minds also must be fed and clothed, and in the way
of better protection against relapse into sin, crime or idleness, no better agent
than those indicated can be emplo37ed. All this being self-evident it behooves
that those invested with the domestic management of institutions of a refor-
matory character should see that the religious and secular teachers, the trade
instructors and all others under their control perform faithfully their allotted
duties.
So far as the Ontario Reformatory for Boys is concerned the Provincial
Government, in its wisdom and forethought, has made ample provision for the
application of the two first named essentials in respect to those relegated to its
charge ; regarding the third, that of practical industrial training, its means of so
doing are circumscribed. This is partly owing to the geographical position of the
Reformatory which, through its remoteness from manufacturing centres and the
consequent heavy freight charges to be incurred to and fro, absolutely prohibits the
introduction of many branches of light industry which, under more favourable
circumstances, might, without pecuniary loss, be entered on and thus prove
of lasting benefit to a large portion of the inmates. Another obstacle in this
connection forces itself in the way of perfecting the training referred to, and that
is the opposition shewn by certain trade combinations to any one held in duress
being employed in the production of articles coming into competition with free
labour. Fortunately for us, so far, farm hands have not succeeded in forming
formidable combinations, else the working of our farm and garden might be
interdicted. Up to the present we are free to use inmates labour in the produc-
tion of the necessary clothing, foot-gear, etc., required for their wants. How
long this privilege may be permitted is a problem which time will solve.
141
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
Through the boys having to .spend half of the day in the school-room and the
other half at work their industrial employment is rendered easier, as by this
system we can double up the number of those obtaining a chance to acquire some
knowledge of such trade or industry as is here available. Still, many of the smaller
boys suffer, as they must perforce remain idle half of each day, particularly during
winter, when out-door work, within their capacity, an in no way be provided. It
may be asked : Why not keep them all day in the school ? Two reasons render
this impossible, and could it be compassed, inadvisable. The first is, we have
not sufficient school-room accommodation to accomplish this ; the second is
embraced in the fact that, even had we this accommodation, the keeping of the
little fellows eight hours per day at their lessons would not be conducive to their
mental or bodily health.
A review of the spiritual advancement of our charge would now be in order,
but as this all-important matter has, in the annual reports of the chaplains, received
its due meed of attention by those best qualified, and whose particular province
it is to discuss it, I will therefore content myself by stating that if an estimate
of progress may be based on the zeal and earnestness displayed and the untiring
efforts put forth to achieve success in this respect, then the best results should be
hoped for. From the first establishment of this Reformatory the spiritual wants
of the inmates have been ministered to by Church of England clergymen. On
certain representations being made to the proper authority it was decided that
the ministers of all other religious organizations, Protestant, represented in the
neighborhood should have access to the boys of their respective communions in
order that these reverend gentlemen should have ample opportunity to impart to
those spiritual counsel, and arrangements to that end were ordered te be made.
Acting in accordance with instructions received, I communicated with the Rev.
Mr. Currie, Presbyterian, and the Ptev. Mr. Clark, Methodist minister, the only
resident clergymen, other than those of the Church of England and the Roman
Catholic, in the town, and conveyed to them the wishes of the Government, with
the result that they promptly volunteered their services. Regularly since then
— summer of 1887 — except during the period when diphtheria was prevalent,
when, for obvious reasons, communication from without was, as far as was pos-
sible, cut off, these reverend gentlemen have devoted themselves to their self-
imposed task — the term task in this connection is out of place — for to them it was
a labour of love indeed, and we may safely conclude that it has not been " labour
in vain."
After speculating on the possible and probable progress attained in the
spiritual order, we will now draw attention to that of a secular character. I refer
to scholastic education. In this as in the former it is difficult for the mere lay-
man to reach conclusions, school teaching being largely technical in its operations,
therefore the analyzation of results is more within the domain of the expert.
Under these circumstances I would respectfully refer you to the report of the
District Public School Inspector, Mr. Bay, now in your hands. In this report you
will doubtless have observed that a change in the school-rooms, with the object
■of obtaining better sanitary conditions, has been suggested. This subject also
engaged the attention of the previous Inspector, Mr. Morgan, as will be seen from
his reports. Last spring, after consultation with yourself and after you had visited
the rooms in question, it was decided to divide the room now occupied by the
boys in the senior grade, this being considerably larger in proportion to its occu-
pants than is the room in which the junior classes assemble too small. When
divided, and this will be done with the least possible delay, there will be ample
accommodation and air space in each subdivision to satisfy the most exacting.
The material progress for the year has been of a marked character. Owing
142
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
to an event which will receive attention in its proper place, extensive and
extremel3r necessary improvements of a sanitary character, embracing more per-
fect ventilation, intelligent plumbing and a better system of steam heating in
connection with the main buildiugs have been carried to satisfactory completion.
Added to this all the drains have been entirely overhauled, the old stench-traps
removed and others more effective substituted. New tioors in dining-hall, ante-
room, main hall and dormitory B. have been laid, and in the basement rooms and
passages a layer of concrete four inches in thickness now covers entirely the chilly
and unattractive stone nagging so long an eyesore. New ceilings of matched
boarding have, in a number of apartments, taken the place of- the dilapidated
and otherwise unsightly ones ; besides every part of the main buildings has been
newly painted, papered or kalsomined accordingly as its particular state or con-
dition necessitated.
Considerable and very much needed improvements have also been made
during the year in the grounds, roadways, etc., around and immediately connected
with the institution. Within the enclosure the surface and underground drains
have been perfected and sodding to a large extent has been laid. Without and
in connection with the Deputy Superintendent's and the Superintendent's resi-
dences a vast amount of inmates' labour has been expended, represented by the
enlargement, under instructions, of the former, the removal, for sanitary reasons,
of the stables and outhouses connected with both. The latter structures were
moved as they stood to a considerable distance from the dwellings referred
to, and their transfer to present site was effected solely by the labour of the
boys.
Taking advantage of the steam supply-pipe laid last year to the house of the
Superintendent, it was determined, with a view to economy, to extend the system
this year and heat the dwelling of the Deputy Superintendent, alsj the green
house, from the same source, viz., the boilers attached to the machine shop. This
has been successfully accomplished and a great annual saving of fuel will thereby
be effected. The cost of this work was intinitessimal, all of it being done by our
engineer with his boys assisting, besides nearly if not all the material used was
that which had been removed from the main building when the heating system
there was changed.
Still another and decidedly important work has this season been carried to
successful completion. I refer to the improved character of our water supply,
both as to quantity and quality. Now we pump from deep water over two
hundred feet from the shore, and this is Lifted up to and stored in a res3rvoir of
solid masonry instead of the wooden tanks, subject to decay, hitherto used for the
purpose. A new and pnverful pump having been added to the pumping station
removes an element of great danger, as were we to continue as in the past, depen-
dent on one p imp only, and should that give out, or through wear and tear or
accident be disabled, the results would be disastrous, especially .so were any of
these possibilities to take place during the winter season.
Last year we referred in hopeful terms to the new stables then in course of
erection. These were, in the early winter of same year, ready for occupancy, and
we can now congratulate ourselves, besides being possessed of a structure in closer
proximity to and more in harmony with the main building, on hiving our neat
cattle and horses comfortably housed.
The present piggeries being in the same, if not worse condition than were
the old stables, involved that new ones also should be built. The erection of
these was commenced in the early summer and is now approaching completion.
From present appearances they seem to be well adapted to uses they will be put.
For the past few years, owing to unpropitions seasons and other causes not
143
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
necessary to specify here, the farm has not been as productive as might reason-
ably be looked for. This year through the liberal use of manure, possibly more
intelligent tillage and a more favourable season, the promise of good crops
resulting is hopeful.
The garden, if we may base our calculations on the returns from the late
crop being in the ratio of the more early, also promises to repay the care and
intelligence expended on it.
Tree planting has been indulged in this year to a considerable extent. It is
intended to continue this useful work -when the seasons are favourable and time
and opportunity permit.
Although the subject, that of the bodily health of the inmates, is more
within the province of the surgeon of the institution and will doubtless, by that
officer, be dealt with in the fullest manner. Still when reviewing the events of
the year we must not heedlessly neglect to express thankfulness for the great
blessings vouchsafed us by a merciful Providence in carrying us through two
epidemics, that of diphtheria and pneumonia, with the loss of one inmate only.
The former, as you are already aware, made its unwelcome appearance middle of
last December. From that time until the end of March over fifty boys were-
attacked, some of them virulently. The disease lurked about the premises, occa-
sional cases being presented, at intervals, up to July when it disappeared, it is to
be hoped finally. In all seventy-five cases were, during the periods indicated,
under treatment, and we may well be thankful that the pestilence ceased without
one victim succumbing to its dread attack. This is an unusual and to all con-
cerned a very consoling result, as, ordinarily, the mortality connected with the
fell disease averages over twenty per cent. To the skillful and unvaried attention
of the surgeon and his assistants, careful nursing and the advantages possessed
in having an airy and well ventilated hospital for the sick, besides other rooms of
similar character for the convalescents and suspects, may, under Divine
Providence, be, in great part, attributed our freedom from fatal cases. When
fighting the disease it must not be overlooked that we had the invaluable advice
and assistance of the Secretary of the Provincial Board of Health, who,
accompanied by yourself, twice visited the institution when the epidemic was at
it worst. The many practical suggestions respecting sanitary arrangements and
regulations, treatment, etc. made by this learned gentlemen were of exceeding
value to all concerned and largely contributed towards the success of the efforts
put forth to prevent the spreading of the disease.
Whilst congratulating ourselves in the consoling fact that none of our in-
mates were taken off by the pestilence, it must not be forgotten that two of our
officers, the deputy superintendent and the storekeeper suffered serious and
irreparable loss through its invasion of their homes. The entire families of both
were stricken down, Mr. McKellar losing an infant daughter and Mr. Stedman
being bereft of a lovely and interesting girl seven years old. Let us earnestly
pray that many years may elapse ere it may again be our sorrowful duty to
chronicle so sad a record.
During May, June and July pneumonia was also prevalent, over twenty (20)
boys being attacked. Apart from the medical treatment, the same means were
employed and advantages utilized as in diphtheria and similar care exercised
causing this visitor to withdraw with only one victim (a lad pre-disposed to lung
disease) in his train. This and one other death, that of an Indian boy, far
advanced in consumption before he was received here, represent the total mor-
tality for the year.
We must not lose sight of an important fact connected with these undesirable
visitations and that is, through them much good, in respect to the future health
144
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
of the inmates, has been wrought. For, had these not assumed the proportions
outlined above we would not now be in the enjoyment of premises drained
heated and ventilated to perfection, with every eyesore renfoved and every need-
ful appointment in place ; thus enabling us to state that, from the standpoint of
cleanliness and all sanitary conditions conducive to good health, there is not from
basement to roof one objectionable feature observable.
Apart from the epidemics noted, we have much pleasure in, reporting that
the general bodily health of the inmates throughout the year has been excellent.
This must be accepted as some compensation for the serious and prolonged anxiety
endured for over six months, during which time the pestilences referred to above
were raging.
In the return furnished by the Bursar shewing the number of days' labour
expended on permanent improvements, etc., during the year, it will be observed
that the showing is unusually large. A very pleasing feature in the year's
transaction contributed to this result, and this is, that during the spring, summer,
and up to the end of the official year there has been a steadiness and freedom from
unrest, beyond the average exhibited, Some portion of the contentedness evi-
denced must be credited to the thoughtful and judicious handling of the lads
displayed by those immediately in charge of them. Altogether apart from the
epidemic invasion and its consequences, the year's proceedings has been of a most
satisfactory character.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
THOMAS McCROSSON.

REPORT OF PROTESTANT CHAPLAIN.
Penetanguishene, October, 1888.
Sir, — I have the honour to submit to you my report, as Protestant
Chaplain for the year ending September 30th, 1888, with regard to the Church.
The long period at the beginning of the year, during which the medical
officer would not allow the assembly of the lads, owing to the fear of contagion
followed by the second period in which the church had to be used for hospital
purposes, and then by the overhauling and repainting necessary, before the
ordinary services could be resumed, all combined to make a large inroad upon
the work of the year.
The Presbyterian and Methodist ministers have again resumed their regular
visits for the instruction of the lads belonging to their respective churches, and
church matters generally have once more settled into their regular condition.
Since my last report to you I have been called upon, for the first time during
my term of service here, to perform the last office for the dead.
Wm. D , a good lad in everyway, drawing towards the close of his
sentence, was laid to rest in the churchyard on the Lines, attended by his father
and a few of his chosen companions to await the Day of Ressurrection.
In the Sunday School.
The same remarks apply as in the church, and no change has been made witb
regard to the special difficulties in this part of my work mentioned in previous
reports.
There has been a decided advance, however, both in the interest taken and
152
52 Victoria, Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
the results obtained, especially since the introduction of the International series
of the Sunday School lesson leaf. By using this leaflet, I am able to give the
lads the paper belonging to their own church and yet have the same lesson and
work going on. Latterly in place of the individual repetition of the lesson, a
written examination has been instituted upon the work of the week, and (while
from some lads it is impossible to expect much) the number of well written
intelligent answers obtained, together with the active interest displayed, when
under religious instruction, is very satisfactory.
It would be hard to say, even if it is right to attempt to do so, what actual
results flow from all this.
At one time the signs appear very encouraging, at another, it seems almost
impossible to make any lasting impression in regard to spiritual things.
But of this much I am confident, that these lads cannot have their Bibles in
their hands morning and evening, reading and hearing, as many of them certainly
do, with evident interest and appreciation, without some fruit being brought forth
in God's good time.
In the Library.
We are at present a little short of books, owing partly to the number that
were unavoidably destroyed during the diphtheria outbreak and partly to our
having no grant this year.
We can, however, do very well on what we have until the next grant
conies in.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient servant,
GEORGE E. LLOYD,
R. Christie, Esq., Protestant Chaplain.
Inspector, etc.
ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAPLAIN'S REPORT.
Penetanguishene, October 25th, 1888.
To R. Christie, Esq.,
Inspector of Prisons and Fublic Charities.
The following is the report, which as Catholic Chaplain, I have the honour
of submitting to you concerning the Roman Catholic boys of this institution for
the year ending September, 30th.
I received" my appointment as Chaplain on November 11th, 1887, and,
entered on the performance of the duties of that office on the 18th of the same
month.
At that date there were 63 Catholic boys in the Reformatory, of whom 43
had received first communion and confirmation, whilst on September, 30th of
this present year, the number of Catholic boys had decreased to 59, compared
with previous years. The present shews a very gratifying decrease in the number
153
52 Victoria. Sessional Pii] ers (No. 2). A. 1889
of boys sent here, the numbers for 1885 and 1880, being 93 and 72. It is to be
hoped that the increased vigilance of parents and greater attention to the in-
struction of their children, to which causes the yearly diminution of the number
of < 'atholic boys sent here is doubtless due, will continue to produce the same
happy result.
From November 18th, 1887, the date of in}- assuming the duties of Catholic
Chaplain to September 30th of the present year, 22 Catholic boys have left the
Reformatory, of whom 14 had completed their terms and 8 were pardoned. In
the case of one of the latter, there was a delay of several months between the
date on which a petition for his release received the approval of the Superintend-
ent of this institution, and the date on which the authorities with whom the
power of pardoning resides, gave it their favorable attention. To the irrita-
tion arising from months of suspense, I attribute the marked change for the
worse which I observed in that boy for some time previous to his reprieve.
With two exceptions, the boys who left during the year received first com-
munion and confirmation, and possessed a good average knowledge of Catholic
doctrine.
The Catholic boys sent here from the date of my assuming the office of
Chaplain, to September 30th of this present year, number 19, of whom one died
soon after his arrival. Of these, seven, of whom five were also confirmed, had
received first communion. I would have had most of these prepared for
confirmation, had it not been for the outbreak of diphtheria last winter, owing
to which the chapel was closed for three months, and the decease of the
late lamented Archbishop Lynch, to whom no successor has as yet been
appointed.
As soon as the vacancy made by the demise of His Grace will be filled, I
expect to have more than twenty boys, of whom eleven have received during the
year, and about the same number will be soon prepared for first communion,
ready for confirmation.
The conduct of the boys under my charge during prayers, Mass, and Sunday
school has been as good, and their attendance at the Sacraments as regular, as
that of the boys of any ordinary Catholic congregation. I found it necessary to
send in written reports against seven boys for disregarding cautions respecting
their conduct at prayers and Sunday school. The offences for which I cautioned
them were in almost every case trivial, such as I would pass over in a parish
Sunday school ; but on account of the proneness of these boys to trifle with any
little leniency shown them, I find it necessary to admonish, and if admonition is
not promptly heeded, to report them for offences which in other boys I would
not notice.
I have introduced during the year a weekly written examination on Scrip-
ture History, given to the boys during Sunday school. This has proved to be
an excellent means of making them attentive, fixing on their minds the instruc-
tion they receive, and accustoming them to give correct and succinct expression
to their ideas. They are stimulated to work hard at this exercise by the hope
of prizes at Christmas ; and I would wish very much that the Government would
give a small sum (say twelve dollars) to the Catholic Chaplain for such prizes, as
at present they must come either from his own salary or from the donations of
his friends.
The library is well supplied with works of fiction, principally from the pens
of excellent authors. 1 am sorry that it does not contain any poetry, and I
intend to impart a little variety to its contents b}^ applying for a few cheap
copies of the works of our purest and best poets. Of the 59 boys at present
154
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
under my charge, 52 are on the library list, and the fact that the works of
Dickens, Thackeray, etc., are in great demand shows that good works are appre-
ciated. I fully concur in the high praises bestowed by my predecessors on the
courtesy of the Reformatory officials, the excellence of chapel accommodation,
the abundant supply of everything necessary for the celebration of Mass, and
the great facilities afforded for the performance of all duties pertaining to my
office.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
L. MINEHAN,
Roman Catholic Chaplain.
PROTESTANT SCHOOLMASTER'S REPORT.
Penetanguishene, October 12th, 1888.
Sir, — I have the honour to transmit the report of the Protestant School for
the year ending September 30th, 1888.
The year past has been as uneventful as the years preceding, with the excep-
tion that it was found necessary to close the schools for about two months,
which, of course, retarded school work, and detracted from the general results of
the year.
It is unnecessary for me to say anything as to progress, as the County
Inspector of Schools will report thereon. I might, however, say incidentally that
it is difficult for any person not thoroughly conversant with the generality of the
class sent here to arrive, however anxious, at correct conclusions as to value of
work done. The Warden of the Central Prison, in his remarks in his last report
relative to the class of " men and boys " sent there, has drawn no exaggerated
picture of the difficulties to be overcome in dealing with men or boys of criminal
tendencies. We have similar difficulties on a minor scale to contend with in
school, but even more difficult to grapple with, for we can judge closely of a boy's
physical strength and what amount of manual labour he is fairly capable of per-
forming, but how shall we judge of a boy's mental faculties and know when he
is putting forth their full powers, especially when his only present reward for
industry and good conduct is a word of approbation from his teacher, which is all
in the teacher's power to give. Had his industry and conduct in school a deter-
mining intiuence in procuring his liberation, it would add greatly to the efficiency
of the schools.
The only new subjects taken up in the year were the study of the Temper-
ance Text-Book and examinations in Bible History, questions in the latter being
prepared by the Chaplain.

Sir, — I have the honour to transmit the report as Roman Catholic teacher of

During the year twenty-two boys came in, while twenty-four have gone out.
Our present roll number is fifty-eight.

The course of studies outlined in last year's report has been successfully fol-
lowed during the present year, and in everything a purely practical education has
been aimed at.
The conduct of the boys in school has been better than during the preceding
year. This is no doubt owing to a better mutual understanding.
The studies were considerably interrupted during the past winter by the pre-
valence of diphtheria, and the consequent closing of the schools. This accounts
for the non-attendance being greater than usual. Before the opening the school
room was painted and various other improvements made.
I would ao-ain respectfully suggest the offering of some reward for industry
in the school room. Prizes might be given, as in the public schools at a very
small cost, or a boy's term might be shortened upon reaching a certain status in
school. Either of these incentives would prove a strong lever in the hands of the
teacher.
I enclose the usual statements of attendance, etc.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN T. YOERELL.

RKPORT OF SURGEON.
PENETANGUISHENE, October, 1888.
SlRj — In submitting the Medical Report of the Ontario Reformatory for Boys,
for the year ending September 30th, 1888, I have much pleasure in stating that
the close of the present year finds the institution in a better sanitary condition
than ever before, although all the contemplated changes have not been completed.
While we make this statement for the sanitary condition of the institution at the
present, we have also to record that the past year has been one of affliction to
the Reformatory- -we having passed through two severe epidemics, one of diph-
theria and the other of pneumonia; and have had two deaths during the year,
one from consumption, the other from pneumonia. Apart from the epidemics of
diphtheria and pneumonia, we have had a very fair bill of health, so that instead
of giving a detailed account of the routine of the year, my remarks will be con-
fined principally to these two epidemics.
In closing the report last year, at which time the boys were in excellent
health, we little thought that we would be called, in so short a time, to pass
through the scourge of diphtheria, which lasted as an epidemic from the 16th of
December to March ; after that date until September the 1st only a few isolated
cases appeared among the boys, and these, strange to say, were all new-comers.
We had under treatment seventy-five cases, but it is most remarkable in the
history of this dread disease, that out of this large number no cases proved fatal,
notwithstanding that quite a number of cases were very severe. This happy
termination, without any fatal result, was no doubt owing, under the blessino- of
Providence, to the combination of favourable conditions and circumstances herein-
after mentioned.
Although we followed the same line of treatment in the Reformatory that
we have found most successful in our private practice, still the result obtained
ha- not been as good in our practice as in the Reformatory epidemic, the very
favourable termination of which was of course altogether out of the ordinary.
In the Reformatory we were better able to control our patients, the age of the
hoys was favourable, and the sanitary conditions good; but I attribute the great
success to good nursing, to the splendid hospital accommodation which we were
able to secure, which allowed a free and constant supply of fresh air, coupled
with the fact that all cases received treatment at the beginning of the disease,
and in no case was the system allowed to become infected from the throat before
any treatment took place, as is often the case in private practice I believe
diphtheria to be primarily a local disease caused by specific germs finding lodg-
ment on soil suitable for development in certain vulnerable points in the body,
and that the danger to life and the constitutional symptoms manifested after
arise from the system becoming contaminated or poisoned by the infected locali-
ties, and that by timely treatment it is possible to lessen the/probability of general
infection and consequently diminish the severity of the disease. In order to
accomplish this, all the boys in the institution were examined in the dining hall
once a day, and any having premonitory symptoms of the disease were immedi-
ately placed in a large room (the reading-room), and constituted what we called
our " suspects." Those, having the disease fully developed were at once placed in
the hospital. After remaining in the hospital two or three weeks, or as the
severity of the case demanded, the patients were gradually removed to the school-
room, which we called our " convalescent room.''
I >rdinary patients requiring any attention were placed in another room used
as a separate hospital, so that we really occupied the churches, school-room,
reading-room and reception-room as hospitals.
159
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
This of course necessitate' I an extra staff as nurses, and it was considered
more expedient to employ outside help, and have as little communication as pos-
sible between the sick boys on the one hand and the guards and the boys in good
health on the other.
Notwithstanding our great care in isolating the sick boys, the officers of the
institution were compelled to come in contact with them more or less, and
unfortunately the disease was carried to the families of three, which resulted in
the death of two children. In these private cases it wras impossible to secure all
the tine hospital accommodation we improvised in the Reformatory.
I might mention here that the room used as a convalescent room is forty feet
by fifty, with eight large windows ; the " suspect room" forty-two feet by seventy-
five, with eleven windows, both rooms well ventilated, and when I state that the
church or main hospital is fifty feet by seventy, with a ceiling over twenty feet
high, large windows at the sides, and having end windows near the ceiling, which
latter windows wTere always open even during the coldest days, you will under-
stand what a grand supply of pure air we were able to command.
The largest number of patients in the hospital at any one time was twenty-
two, the largest number in the convalescent room twenty-three, the largest num-
ber of " suspects" thirteen, but the average would be about four.
Each boy in passing from the hospital to the " convalescent room" had a bath,
and after leaving the " convalescent room" he had a bath and a new suit of
clothes, the old ones being burnt in every case. All the bedding used in the
hospital was burnt, and the bedsteads properly disinfected.
During the progress of the disease we had several visits from the Provincial
Board of Health, and many valuable suggestions made in the arrangement of the
buildings, etc., which have since been carried out.
Although we made every effort to ascertain the cause of the disease, in which
we were assisted by the Provincial Board of Health, it remained a matter of
speculation for a long time until what was considered the real cause was
discovered in making some alterations to the buildings. In this connection I
think it well to embody extracts from the reports I made at the time, which will
give a better idea of the cause and history of the disease. The following extract
is taken from a Report made after the disease had been raging about a month,
and a number of boys were convalescent :
" Pexetaguishene, January 14th, 1888.
' * * * * Of the fifty-five cases now under treatment twenty-
two are in the hospital, the rest in the " convalescent room," and in the room
for " suspects."
" In the hospital we have fourteen in bed and eight up. After a boy has
been up for some days and seems strong, we send him down to the " convalescent
room." We will send two or three down to-morrow and possibly let some out of
bed. Yesterday we sent three boys from the hospital to the convalescent room,
and to-day three new cases were sent np to the hospital, one from the " suspects"
and two from the outside boys. All the " suspects " have sore throats, high
temperature, but no growths, and are under the same treatment as the boys in
the hospital. As soon as any growth makes its appearance, that boy is sent to
the hospital.
"The hospital contains quite a few with secondary symptoms, which some-
times become very dangerous. These we place in a tent and steam night and
day. They are all doing well, in fact much better than we could expect when
we consider the nature of the disease ; but as our nurses have too much work
already, and many of the boys require skilled attention at night, and although
160
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
we are most anxious to see them pull through without a death if possible, still
we cannot act as physician and nurse, consequently after a consultation with the
Warden, I have sent to Toronto for a graduating medical student to live in the
Reformatory and have general supervision of the sick until the danger is past ;
he will take charge on Saturday night next. I might add that I have satisfied
myself about the origin of the disease, and I think it will not last much longer
as steps have been taken to obviate the trouble. * *"
The following Report was sent down to you the next week : /
"Penetanguishene, January 23rd, 1888.
" Sir, — I wrote you last week in reference to the sick at the Reformatory,
and remarked that I had satisfied myself about the cause of the disease, probably
it would have been more correct had I said the cause of the disease becoming
endemic at the Reformatory.
" It will not be necessary for me to argue whether it is possible for diphtheria
to originate de novo or not, although some of our best authorities maintain
that it is a specific poison, propagated like scarlatina and smallpox, and that the
poison of diphtheria will remain dormant for years, and again become active
under favourable conditions or circumstances. At the present time the teachings
of sanitary science seem opposed to the idea that any specific disease can originate
spontaneously, and it seems a reasonable deduction that the germs ot the disease
remain, quiescent as it were, until roused into action by conditions favourable to
their propagation.
" I mention these views to enable you to fully understand my idea of the
present condition at the Reformatory, and I care not which theory of the origin
be taken, for we have the condition requisite to originate the disease de novo if
that be possible, and if not, we have the conditions necessary to stimulate the
dormant poison into action.
:' It must not be forgotten that we had diphtheria in and about the Reforma-
tory in 1882, although it did not spread. 1 assume in the first place that our
water supply is not as pure as it might be, and may have acted as a sort of pre-
disposing cause, yet I very much doubt if that could give rise to the present
trouble. Ever since the outbreak of the disease I have been puzzled to know
why nearly all the cases came from dormitories ' A ' and ' B,' for, if the water
were at fault, or the local cause in ' C ' and ' D,' as was suspected, an equal
number of sick, if not more, should come from dormitories ' C ' and ' D.' The
first case came from ' B,' and although the second came from 'D' it is quite
possible that the second was the result of direct contagion in the play-room
where all the boys meet. Out of fifty-five cases treated, four came from ' D,'
five from ' C,' whilst seventeen came from ' B ' and twenty-nine from ' A.'
" This preponderance of sick from ' A ' and ' B ' has at last been satisfac-
torily explained, at least I am satisfied we have found the cause. On making the
excavations for the proposed repairs and alterations, it was discovered that in the
drain that passes under the ante-rooms of ' A ' and ' B ' is a well or man-hole
into which all the water closets and urinals, as well as the waste water from ' A '
and ' B,' empty. Into this well or man-hole the hot water pipes from the
boilers also empty, so that the contents of this well, containing feces, urine and
wash-water, would always be luke-warm, a very proper condition for the repro-
duction aud multiplication of germs. This well is situated under the passage and
close to the door of dormitory ' A ' and it is supposed that when the plumbers
came from Toronto to make some repairs they opened this man-hole and left it
uncovered, or merely placed a loose board on the top, and when the cold weather
11 (p.) 161
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 2). A. 1889
came on and the doors and windows were closed, all the noxious gases from this
man-hole had free access to ' A ' and ' B,' fully explaining in my mind why
the first and nearly all the cases came from ' A ' and ' B.'
" This trouble has been obviated by hermetically sealing up the man-hole
and giving it ventilation outside to the top of the building.
" I might add that the disease has made its appearance in the houses of Mr.
Stedman and Mr. McKellar, two of the parties using Reformatory water, but
these are the pnes most exposed within the building, and no doubt carried the
poison home. The disease may last some time but 1 feel satisfied that it is on
the decline.
" I have the honour to be, Sir,
" Your obedient servant,
" R. Chkistie, Esq., P. H. Sfohn."
" Inspector."
Since making the above report I am still more convinced of its correctness, for
having had the water analyzed it has been declared pure, and a week after the
closing of the man-hole the disease suddenly declined, and although it lasted
longer, we had but six new cases from the 20th of January to the 1st of March.
The only serious results from the diphtheria was paralysis, which, in one
case, lasted about four months.
During March we had five cases, April four, May two, June one and
July two. These straggling cases were mild and confined to the new-comers,
the other boys had apparently become proof to what little poison still remained
about the institution.
During the continuance of the disease all drains were kept disinfected, and
afterwards the buildings were fully disinfected and renovated, and the sanitary
condition is now good.
During the spring and summer pneumonia, which had been remarkably
prevalent throughout the Province, made its appearance in the Reformatory, and
a large number of the boys were invalided. A number of the cases were very
severe, and one of the inmates, Dagon, succumbed to the disease. Many of the
pneumonia patients had previously passed through diphtheria, which no doubt
lessened their vitality and rendered them less able to resist an attack. From
the character the disease assumed this and other times, I am satisfied that it was
contagious in its nature, notwithstanding that the medical fraternity hardly
accept pneumonia as a contagious disease.
The other death was that of an Indian named Kokoosh, from consumption,
and I can give you his condition better by quoting a report I sent to the Warden
at the time.
" Penetanguishene, July 12th, 1888.
" Sir, — In answer to enquiry re Kokoosh, I beg to state that he was suffer-
ing from consumption of the bowels (tabes mesenterica), when he came here, and
had evidently been an invalid some time, as there was great tumefaction over
the bowels, his temperature high, and his pulse running at 130'.
" He was sent to the hospital on his arrival and was certainly not a proper
subject to send to this institution.
" I have the honour, etc.,
P. H. Spohn."
"Tbos. McCbosson, Esq.,
" Superintendent."

After looking back over the transactions of the past year I have only one
suggestion to make, viz., that we be supplied with a suitable hospital, as it may
not be convenient at all times to take possession of the chapels and school rooms.
I cannot close this report without expressing my high appreciation of the
conduct of the officers and all connected with the Eeformatory for their kind
assistance in time of trouble, their though tfulness in preparing special nourishing
food, and delicacies for the boys in the hospital, which tended so much to their
recovery, and for their willingness at all times to alleviate the sufferings of the
sick ones at the risk of carrying the disease home, which, in some cases, was the
cause of death in their own families.

THE INSTITUTION
EDUCATION OF THE DEAF AND DUMB
The number of deaf and deaf-mute persons who were in attendance during
the session of 1887-88 was 265, being an increase of one as compared with the
previous year. Of the number above referred to, 1.36 were males and 109 females.
Including those in attendance last session, no less than 786 pupils have been on
the books of the Institution since its opening in October, 1870.
The past year was a successful one for the Institution. The health of the
inmates was remarkably good and no death occurred. The examiner of the
literary classes was enabled to make a most satisfactory report upon the progress
of the pupils, the general efficiency of the Institution from an educational point
of view, and the zeal and ability of the various teachers. In addition, the
members of the staff have efficiently carried out their duties, the general
affairs of the Institution have run smoothly, and it still maintains its high place
amongst schools of its special class.
A fire occurred in the carpenter's shop of the Institution on the 10th March,
but owing to the prompt measures taken by the staff, the fire did not spread and
the damage was slight.
I annex copies of the various minutes made by me after my visits of inspec-
tion. In them, matters of detail are referred to which cannot well be commented
on in a general report : —
" On the 3rd and 4th May I made a regular inspection of the Institution for
the Deaf and Dumb.
" There were in residence 236 pupils — 140 boys and 96 girls — none of whom
were on the sick list. A few days prior to my visit many of them were reported as
suffering from colds, headache and other minor ailments, and two of the girls,
whose systems were run down to such an extent as to require a change of air,
were taken home by their parents. The others, all of whom I saw at their meals
and in the class rooms, appeared to be in the best of health and spirits. They
were neatly clothed and orderly in their deportment. The meals were nicely
served, of good quality and abundant.
" The Superintendent reported that the officers, teachers and employes were
discharging their duties faithfully and to his satisfaction. I found all the teachers
at their posts in the class rooms.
" As the tuition given is necessarily individual, the number of mute children
allotted to each teacher in this Institution is considered by some authorities as
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 3). A. 188&
too many to attain the best results. Sixteen pupils under one teacher is regarded
as a fair limit. The Superintendent rurges this view, and it is concurred in by
the teachers generally. As far as I could observe, the teachers and scholars were-
working earnestly to show a good record when the examinations take place before
the close of the session.
" The thirty boys working in the shoe shop were reported to be attentively
learning their trade, and some of their work is very creditable.
" In the carpenter's shop there was not much doing, as the recent fire had
interfered with the general work.
" The girls in the sewing department were industriously engaged in tailoring,
dressmaking and other sewing work, both by hand and with the machines.
" The various dormitories, sitting-rooms, dining-rooms, kitchen, laundry,
bake-shop and other parts of the Institution were found to be scrupulously clean
and in good order. The bake oven is falling in and a new oven is required, for
which arrangements have been made.
" The ice house cannot longer be utilized and will have to be rebuilt.
" The expenditures contemplated under the appropriation on capital account
were arranged with the Superintendent and authority given to proceed with
them.
" Stations for the watchman's time-detector were fixed upon, it having been
decided to have one of these useful appliances erected in the building.
" Representations will be made to the Department of Public Works for the
speedy rebuilding of the wharf at the bay shor,e so that a saving of about $300 in
the delivery of the Institution's fuel supply for this year may be effected.
" The fire which occurred on the evening of the 10th March in the carpenter
shop, where there was a large quantity of inflammable material, demonstrated the
fact that the means at command of the Institution authorities for extinguishing
fires are good. In this instance I was informed, by the active measures at once
resorted to, a strong stream of water was playing upon the fire within five
minutes after it was discovered, with the results that the flames were completely
smothered in a short time. The officials and pupils are deserving of commenda-
tion for their prompt and successful action. Repairs to the work shop were being
proeeeded with, and instructions were given to repair the farm fences also and
the sidewalks adjacent to the main building.
" The school term will close on the 20th June. A number of children were
reported by the Superintendent as having no friends willing to care for them
during vacation, and he was requested to communicate with the municipalities
from which they were received and arrange for their maintenance until the
reopening on the 12th September."
" I again visited the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb on the 23rd and 24th
July. The school term closed on the 20th June, consequently the pupils and
teachers were away for the vacation.
" From the 23rd to the 27th June a reunion of former pupils was held at the
Institution and 170 were present. The Superintendent informed me that the
proceedings of the convention were of a most gratifying character. Essays on
various subjects of interest to the deaf and dumb were discussed. Nearly all the
ministers of the various denominations were present and took part in the pro-
ceedings. The old graduates looked respectable and well-to-do members of the
community, and their general deportment testified to the good work done in the
Institution.
" The general repairs provided for were being proceeded with in the main
and other buildings by the Institution employes under the direction of the Super-
8
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 3). A. 1889
intendent, and arrangements were made for rebuilding the bakery oven, for which
an appropriation was made.
" The wharf belonging to the Institution has been rebuilt by the Department
of Public Works and has been used to receive this year's supply of coal direct
from the vessels. This has effected a considerable saving by shortening the dis-
tance which the coal has to be carted, and will much more than repay the cost of
reconstruction in two or three years.
" The front grounds were in good order considering the lack of rain during
the summer. The general crops on the farm, however, will be far below the
average of former years owing to the long continued drought. Hay and barley
are a small yield, and early vegetables a total failure. The root crops promise a
moderate retarn.
" The watchman's time-detector recently put in was found to be in good
working order and constructed according to agreement."
A copy of the report of Mr. Piatt, Inspector of Public Schools for Prince
Edward County, upon the result of his examination of the literary classes is
appended : —
I have the honour to present my report of the recent examination of the literary
classes of the Institution for the Deat and Dumb at Belleville. In addition to the follow-
ing more general remarks upon the several classes examined, there is forwarded herewith
a detailed report of the standing of each pupil in the various subjects of examination.
This does not apply to the articulation class, but the pupils constituting it are embraced
in other classes in connection with which their standing is shown. I was happily able to
bring to the discharge of my duties as examiner the advantage derived from the experi-
ence of last year. This must have proved a considerable relief to the Superintendent
whose ready assistance, though frequently applied to, was not needed to the same extent
as on the former occasion. In forming the questions for the several classes, while I was
compelled to refer carefully to the prescribed course, and in the matter of language to use
only such words as had been taught by constant drill, I strove as far as possible to vary
my questions from those to which they were accustomed in order to estimate the degree
of mental discipline to which each has attained. I found this almost wanting in the
junior classes — very few could step out of the beaten track — and indeed it is not to be
expected. With the seniors it was very different. Many of them, in spite of their disad-
vantages, appear equal to the favoured children of speech, and give evidence of high degree
of mental culture.
The uniform excellence of the spelling and hand-writing of the pupils is something
wonderful. I am safe in saying that no public school in Ontario can show as few errors
in spelling during an examination as I saw in my seven days' work at this Institution ;
and this is true of all the classes, but more especially so of the seniors;
The deportment of the pupils is also worthy of the highest commendation — in fact it
seemed as near perfection as it is possible to attain in so large a school. During the
entire examination of over 200 pupils, without any special warnings or " rules and regula-
tions," and seated much more closely than in ordinary examinations, I saw very few
instances that could be construed into a glance at a neighbour's slate.
Thorough disicipline is maintained among] the pupils inside and outside the Institu-
tion. The entire population, officers, teachers and pupils, have rather the characteristics
of a well regulated family than of the rigorous discipline often adopted by the superior
officers of public institutions. Very few cases of corporal punishment occur, the more
natural and reasonable methods of deprivation of privileges or committal to the " reflec-
tion chamber " being generally resorted to. The marked success attained in this respect
furnishes ample proof that the Superintendent is an accomplished disciplinarian, possess-
ing the happy faculty of winning the favour of every teacher and pupil by his agreeable
demeanor and unvarying kindness, and at the same time being firm as adamant in his
oyalty to his convictions of duty.

The Articulation Classes
Came first on the programme prepared for me and afforded satisfactory evidence of pro-
gress during the year. From young pupils of seven and eight years of age who were
learning to speak simple sounds with their combinations and easy words, we had a suc-
cession of graded classes, seven in all, reading from tablet lessons, first, second and third
readers, in an intelligible manner and being able to explain the more difficult words of
the selections. A variety of exercises were given, such as reading and writing numbers,
pointing out and naming places on the map, naming parts of the body, reading the
Lord's prayer, etc. The entire work was very satisfactory and evidenced thorough instruc-
tion on the part of the efficient teacher, Miss Mathison.
Class A
Consists of fifteen pupils in charge of Mr. Beaton, whose experience in teaching deaf
mutes began in September last. Most of the pupils were in the first year of their
attendance, and, with a few exceptions, all did well in answering the questions on names
and plurals, adjectives, simple actions and numbers. The class being subdivided into
three divisions is not subjected to the percentage test.
Class B
Is also in three subdivisions and contains twelve pupils, whose ages range from nine to
twenty-six. The class is a dull one, seven of the twelve not being able to do anything
with adjectives, actions or numbers. Mr. McKillop is the painstaking teacher.
Class C
Taught by Mr. Greene, numbers nineteen pupils, eighteen of whom were present, and
thirteen of them in their first term. This class was examined in the subjects prescribed
for first year pupils, and obtained 73tj per cent, of the total marks assigned. Consider-
able enthusiasm was noticed in this room, and excellent order prevailed.
Class D
In charge of Miss Maybee, numbers twenty pupils, and was examined in the subjects
prescribed for the second year of the course. The pupils were nearly equal in their
attainments, and reached an average of 74 per cent, in their answers.
Class E
Consists also of twenty pupils, and is taught by Miss Bull in the same subjects as Class
D. The average age of the pupils is somewhat greater, which may account for the fact
that the percentage attained was 78, the highest reached during the examination.
Class F
Is another "side-class," consisting of seventeen pupils, several of whom have dropped
behind their schoolmates of the same length of attendance. Mrs. Terrill, a lady of many
years' experience has charge of the class. Seven of the pupils, from twelve to nineteen
years of age, were unable to do any of the questions in arithmetic. Most of the others
obtained good marks ; the average percentage, 61.
10
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 3). A. 1889
Class G
Under the instruction of Mrs. MacGillis, has twenty pupils taught in the subjects pre-
scribed for the third year. The list embraces mental and written arithmetic, trades,
incorporation, letter-writing and geography, in all of which the class did fairly well
excepting arithmetic. In consequence of partial failure in this branch, and the com-
parative inexperience of the teacher in her present position, the class record fell to less
than 60 per cent.
Class H
Is another third year class of twenty-one pupils, taught by Miss Ostrom. The class
showed a remarkable evenness of attainment, the lowest pupil making over 60 per cent.,
while the average of all was over 73 per cent.
Class I
Taught by Miss Templeton, in fourth year subjects, numbers twenty-two, with three
absentees. It passed a good examination, raising the average to 74i per cent.
Class J
Numbers also twenty-two, under Mr. Ashley as teacher. It was examined in fifth year
subjects, whieh include additional exercises in English. Only one pupil came below 70
per cent, in the examination, and average of the class was exactly 76 per cent.
Class K
Is a sixth year one of twenty pnpils, under the able instruction of Mr. Denys. The
subject of Canadian history is first taken up in this room, and special pains are taken in
the teaching of composition. Somehow, the questions set in written arithmetic did not
strike the pupils favorably, and the result was a partial failure in that subject, and the
lowering of the average percentage to less than 70 per cent.
Class L.
The graduating class of the institution is taught by Mr. Coleman in the subjects pre-
scribed for the seventh year. These include commercial arithmetic, higher exercises in
English, and additional portions of history and geography. Three of the nineteen pupils
were absent, and the remainder averaged 77 h per cent, in the examination. The first
place in this class was won by Miss Ada James, a young lady of seventeen, who has
spent seven sessions in the institution, and who made 90 per cent, of the marks given.
Her nearest competitor was Joseph Cook, nineteen years of age, and of six years' standing,
who had only six marks less. Both are very proficient, and do .credit to the institution.
Almost as much might be said of the rest of the class.
In closing my report, it only remains to mention a cursory examination of the
specimens of drawing and modelling by some of the pupils under the instruction
of Mrs. MacGillis. Several of these were well done, and gave evidence of the
possession of a considerable degree of taste. The fancy work department, in charge
of Miss Bull, was also very satisfactory. These and some other departments of the
institution were outside my province, and therefore you will hardly expect me to receive
them in this report.
Of the general efficiency of the institution, under the skilful management of
Supt. Mathison and his able staff of officers and teachers, I am fully convinced. If
every public institution was as successfully conducted, there would indeed be slight
ground for criticism of this department of Provincial administration.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE ONTARIO INSTITUTION
FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB.
Belleville, September 30th, 1888.
R. Christie, Esq.,
Inspector of Prisons and Public Charities for the Province of Ontario :
Sir, — As required by you, I have the honor to present the eighteenth annual report
of the Institution for the year ending September 30th, 1888.
Your minutes of inspection embracing general matters and the special report of the
Examiner in regard to the educational department, relieve me in a great measure from
commenting on our work. That we have deserved favorable mention, is a source of pride
to officers and teachers, and the knowledge that substantial improvement is being made
by the pupils, spurs them and all of us to renewed endeavor to achieve better results in
the future. We do not imagine that we are perfect by any means, or that we have
nothing to learn of the best methods of instructing deaf-mutes, but of this we feel
assured that our pupils exhibit marked improvement from year to year as the result of
the training they are receiving here. In teaching our pupils we are not bound by any
hobbies of sincere though misguided theoretical enthusiasts who would make all deaf
children conform to the same rules and be taught in the same way as speaking children.
Some are taught by the use of signs, part of the school day is devoted to oral speech with
others, writing and the use of the manual alphabet is employed by all — the various
methods, however, being means to an end, viz. : the acquirement by the pupils of a general
use of the English language so as to fit them for the ordinary duties of life. An eminent
authority, A. L. E. Crouter, M.A., Principal of the Philadelphia Institution, very truly
remarks : " Too much must not be expected. There is a common belief that the depri-
vation of one sense makes the others more acute, and that, owing to this, deaf children
are as a class brighter, quicker, and more capable than hearing children. No greater
error can be entertained. Deafness in very early life is a great, a lasting misfortune,
mentally considered a greater misfortune than blindness. It most effectually closes the
mind to those earlier impressions of childhood that go so far to mould a perfect man-
hood ; it debars its victims from that richer intellectual development that is acquired
through the sense of hearing ; it makes the acquisition of knowledge a most difficult and
laborious operation, so difficult and laborious that the closest application, the best instruc-
tion, the most constant and loving attention are requisite to the attainment of moderate
success." A writer in Chamber's Cyclopaedia says : " While almost every one will readily
admit that there is a wide difference between a deaf and a hearing child, very few who
have not had their attention painfully drawn to the subject, possess any adequate notion
of the difference or could tell wherein it consists. Deafness touches only one bodily
organ, and that not visible, but the calamity which befalls the mind is one of the most
desperate in the catalogue of human woes. The deprivation under which the born-deaf
labor is not merely nor so much the exclusion of sound as it is the complete exclusion of all that
information and instruction, which are conveyed to our minds, and all the ideas which
are suggested to them, by means of sound. The deaf know almost nothing because they
hear nothing. We who do hear acquire knowledge through the medium of language —
through the sounds we hear and the words we read — every hour. But as regards the
deaf and dumb, speech tells them nothing, because they cannot hear, and books teach
them nothing, because they cannot read ; so that their original -condition is far worse
than that of persons who can neither read nor write (one of our most common expres-
sions for extreme ignorance) ; it is that of persons who can neither read nor write nor
hear nor speak — who cannot ask you for information when they want it, and could not
understand you if you wished to give it to them. Tour difficulty is to understand their
difficulty ; and the difficulty which first meets the teacher is how to simplify and dilute
his instructions down to their capacity for receiving them."

Definition and Classification of Deaf-Mutes.
From an article specially prepared for Buck's Reference Hand-book of the Medical
Sciences, by Dr. E. A. Fay, of the National Deaf-Mute College, editor of the Annals of
the Deaf, one of the best informed men engaged in the instruction of mutes, I glean that
" the word ' deaf-mutes ' signities, strictly speaking, persons who, having been born deaf
or having lost their hearing in early life, have not acquired the power of speech. There
is usually no defect in the vocal organs except such imperfection of development as may
be the result of lack of exercise ; muteness is simply the consequence of deafness. Ordi-
nary children learn to speak by hearing and imitating the sounds made by others ; the
deaf child does not hear such sounds, therefore does not imitate them, therefore remains
mute. The term ' deaf-mutes' seems to have originated in the United States within the
last fifty years. The synonymous term generally employed in England, and still fre-
quently used in this country, is ' deaf and dumb.' There are many persons usually
spoken of as ' deaf-mutes,' or ' deaf and dumb,' and educated in institutions established
for the instruction of this class, who are not properly described by either of these terms.
Some of them, having lost their hearing by accident or disease after they had learned
articulate language, still retain their speech notwithstanding their deafness ; others,
formerly mute, have acquired the art of speech through the instruction of skilful teachers
of articulation. Such persons are not really ' dumb ' or ' mute,' and their improper
classification as such — especially in the case of those who have learned to speak before
losing their hearing — gives rise to serious errors in the mind of the public concerning the
nature of deaf-mute education and its results. The strictly correct designation for the
whole class of persons under consideration is ' the deaf,' a term which is coming more and
more into use, and which will "probably ere long supersede ' deaf and dumb ' altogether,
leaving the word ' deaf-mute ' to be applied to persons deaf from birth or infancy, who
have not acquired the use of articulate speech. Some of the deaf are either born deaf, or,
losing their hearing in early infancy from unobserved circumstances, are supposed to have
been so born ; others become deaf from various diseases or from accidents. The deaf are
thus divided into two great classes, the ' congenitally ' and the ' adventitiously ' deaf, or,
as they are often called, 'congenital deaf-mutes' and the 'adventitious deaf-mutes.'
Except where hearing is known to have existed, it is impossible to say positively to
which of these classes a deaf person belongs ; the distinction nevertheless is an important
one. Among the adventitiously deaf, a large proportion lose their hearing in early
childhood, before they have learned articulate language ; in other cases, where some pro-
gress in speaking has been made, the length and severity of the disease that causes deaf-
ness, often temporarily affecting the brain at the same time, seems to efface the language
previously acquired ; and in others the neglect of parents and friends to aid and encourage
the deaf child in the extraordinary efforts necessary for the retention of speech after
hearing is lost, produces the same result. Speech as well as hearing is gone, and the child
as truly belongs to the class of ' deaf-mutes ' as if he had never heard. No doubt there
is a difference in his mental condition — greater or less according to the age at which
deafness occurred — from that of the congenital deaf-mute. Many persons have lost their
hearing by accident or disease after having acquired the use of articulate speech, and
retain this speech more or less perfectly notwithstanding their deafness. If the loss of
hearing occurs in adult life, they usually escape the improper classification with deaf-
mutes above referred to ; but if it happens in childhood, so that they cannot be educated
in the usual manner of hearing children, but must be sent to special schools for instruc-
tion, they are erroneously included among deaf-mutes. Many of the processes of deaf-
mute instruction are, it is true, equally applicable to persons of this class, and they may
therefore properly be associated with deaf-mutes for the purpose of education ; but they
differ from deaf-mutes essentially, not only in having the ability to express themselves
orally, but still more in their natural mode of thought, which is in words and not in
gestures. This difference is fully recognized by all teachers of the deaf, who in this
country distinguish the members of this class by the useful and convenient, though not
accurately descriptive, title of 'semi-mutes.' The deaf may be further classified according
to the degree of deafness. Deafness varies all the way from a slight difficulty in hearing
14

Sessional Papers (No. 3).
A. 1889
to the inability to perceive the loudest sounds. Persons in whom the defect is so slight
as to allow of their education through the ear in ordinary schools are never regarded as
deaf-mutes; they maybe designated as simply 'hard of hearing.' The whole class of
the deaf, aside from the hard of hearing, are divided into 'the totally deaf and 'the
semi-deaf.' The term ' mute ' is often used as synonymous with deaf-mute, but it
should be avoided as less exact, since it may also refer to persons who hear but are not
able to speak on account of feeble mental power or of some defect in the vocal organs.
Persons ' mute ' or ' semi-mute,' but not deaf, are, of course, not to be included among
deaf-mutes, and are not suitable candidates for admission to schools for the deaf. If, as
is usually the case, their muteness is due to defective mental power, they may properly
be sent to a school for the feeble minded, where the skilful efforts of devoted teachers
often succeed in awakening the dormant intellect, imparting speech and restoring the
child to society."
Extent of Deaf-Mutism.
" For a large part of the world we have, of course, no statistics of deaf-mutism, but
during several decades most of the countries of Europe and North America have included
such statistics in their census returns. The returns from different countries, and from
different parts of the same country, show remarkable differences in the extent of deaf-
mutism. These differences are doubtless due in part to the greater accuracy with which
the census is taken in some places than in others ; but it is probable that climate, race
and modes of living have considerable influence. Mountainous regions give a larger pro-
portion of deaf-mutes than low, level countries ; the Caucasian than the African race :
Jews than Christians ; the poor and ignorant than the intelligent and well-to-do classes.
Compare, for instance, in the following table the statistics of Switzerland with those of
Belgium and the Netherlands ; the white with the colored population of the United
States ; the Jews in Bavaria and Prussia with the Catholic and Protestant inhabitants
of those countries.

The statistics of the twelve countries above named show an average of 920 deaf-
mutes in every million of population. If we suppose the proportion to be the same for
the entire population' of the globe, the total number of deaf-mutes in the world is nearly
1,500,000."
Marriage of Deaf-Mutes.
This seems to be a subject of some importance just now on this continent and in
England. It is being discussed by a number of interested persons with a view, mainly,
of determining the liability of such marriages to transmit deafness to succeeding genera-
tions. Dr. Fay, the gentleman mentioned before, remarks : " The marriage of deaf-
mutes, both with one another and with hearing persons, is far more common in the United
States than in Europe. This country, therefore, affords the best field for investigating
the results of such marriages, and a considerable body of statistics, though still very
incomplete, has been collected by the principals of American schools for the deaf. They
show, as do Irish statistics, that many married deaf-mutes have no deaf-mute children,
and that, with deaf parents as with hearing parents, hearing children are the rule, deaf
children the exception ; but they also show, especially when a large number of such cases
are brought together, that the proportion of these Exceptions with deaf-mute parents is
far greater than with hearing parents. While the statistics of heredity are still too
limited and incomplete to enable us to form positive conclusions, the following seem
probable : (1) Persons who have deaf-mute relatives, whether themselves deaf-mute or
hearing, marrying persons who have deaf-mute relatives, whether themselves deaf-mute
or hearing, are likely to have deaf-mute children ; (2) Persons deaf from birth or from
early infancy marrying each other, especially if either partner has deaf-mute relatives,
are likely to have deaf-mute children ; (3) Persons adventitiously deaf and not having
deaf-mute relatives marrying each other are not likely to have deaf-mute children ;
(4) Persons, whether congenitally or adventitiously deaf, not having deaf-mute relatives
and marrying hearing persons who have not deaf-mute relatives are not likely to have
deaf-mute children." My views, based upon observation and enquiry into the condition
of mutes residing in this province, are generally known, as they were given briefly in a
former report. Up to the present I can find but one deaf child in Ontario, both of whose
parents are deaf, and I only learned of this one, who is now about three years of age, in
June last. In September, 1885, a boy was admitted to the Institution whose mother is
deaf. She became so, however, at four years of age, and the child lost his hearing at two
years of age. The foregoing are the only cases of deaf children having deaf parents that
have come to my knowledge. There are a good many deaf-mutes married in this province,
and I know of none who are less happy and prosperous than the average class of persons
in like conditions of life. I do not think that the percentage of deaf children from such
marriages is any larger than from the ordinary classes. I can see no valid reason why
deaf persons should not intermarry, if they are so disposed, as the marital relation is cal-
culated to afford them as much, if not more, happiness and protection than it does hearing
people. This is owing to their infirmity, which isolates them from society and deprives
them of a large share of social pleasures. They find each other's society a source of enjoy-
ment that proves a sure shield from many of the temptations and excesses of life, and a
sense of responsibility leads to industry and economy. In view of all the circumstances
any' opposition to the consummation of deaf-mute love matches partakes of the nature of
an injustice. If the parties to the contract are able, by their own industry and skill, to
maintain a family, no impediments should be placed in the way of their matrimonial
inclinations.
Deaf-Mute Association.
For some time the teachers and others interested in the cause of deaf-mute education
saw the need of some kind of an organization that would enable them to meet ex-pupils
of the Institution and other deaf persons for mutual advice and instruction. They were
convinced by experience and observation that the deaf, owing to unavoidable social isola-
tion, become more or less indifferent about their mental culture, and frequently retrogade
16
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 3). A. 1889
in necessary knowledge. This is owing to circumstances that are well understood. Deaf
people are unable to mingle freely in promiscuous society, and their conditions usually do
not favour study and improvement. The reason is, therefore, obvious why graduates of
the Institution, who leave school with a fair knowledge of the rudiments of an education,
become somewhat rusty and lose interest in what they have learned. With a view of
helping this class to retain the social and intellectual positions they are justly entitled to,
an effort was made in 1886 to organize a deaf-mute association for the Province of Ontario.
The object was to bring together as many as possible of the deaf, annually or biennially,
for the discussion of topics of interest and for social pleasures. The first meeting was
held in Toronto on the 6th and 7th of September, 1886, and proved a most gratifying
success. I was then convinced that the deaf of this province would fully appreciate all
that could be done for them in the direction indicated, and that they were quite able and
willing to assist in carrying forward the work that had been so auspiciously begun.
Knowing the affection all the former students of the Institution felt for their alma mater,
I obtained permission from the Honourable the Provincial Secretary to invite them to
the Institution for the next biennial meeting of the association. The invitation was
accepted, and this year the second meeting was held at the Institution on the 23rd, 25th
and 26th of June with appropriate religious services on the intervening Sunday. The
delegates attending, numbering some 170, were lodged and boarded at the Institution.
They were industrious, well-to-do persons, self-supporting members of the community,
and were making a livelihood as portrait artists, photographers, wood engravers, wood
carvers, lithographic artists, teachers, printers, bookbinders, machinists, painters, wood
turners, blacksmiths, shoemakers, carpenters, bricklayers, curriers, cabinetmakers, gar-
deners, sailmakers, sailors, fishermen, dressmakers, tailoresses, cigarmakers, milliners,
shirtmakers, mantlemakers and housekeepers. I was much pleased with the results of
the meetings, and believe lasting benefits were obtained by those who participated. The
appearance and conduct of the visitors were convincing evidence of the success of our
system of deaf-mute education. The most commendable interest was manifested in the
proceedings, and those who took part in the discussions, etc., did so in an intelligent and
common sense manner. A number of papers were read on subjects of special interest to
the deaf, and addresses were given by visiting clergymen and others. Before separating
the association unanimously adopted a vote of thanks to the Provincial Government for
generous treatment towards the deaf-mute community. Special mention was made of the
kindness of the Provincial Secretary, Hon. A. S. Hardy, who so willingly allowed the
association to meet at the Institution and otherwise showed his interest in the welfare of
the deaf. The proceedings throughout gave me much satisfaction, as they convinced me
that those for whose benefit the association was organized are fully alive to the necessity
of such a means of instruction and counsel. They evinced the most sincere interest in all
that transpired, and returned home full of enthusiasm and with loftier conceptions of life
and its responsibilities. We are interested especially in the education and welfare of this
class, and whatever tends to aid them in the development of character and the promotion
of general prosperity among them should receive our hearty encouragement.
Number of Pupils in Attendance.
The number of pupils actually in residence to day is 228, a 'few less than we had last
year. At the close of the term a number completed their allotted time and graduated
with credit, others who could not derive further benefit were not allowed to return ; a few
moved to the United States and Manitoba with their parents, and others were kept at
home, their labour being required by their relatives. The number of new pupils admitted
this year is less than it has been for several years. Every suitable application has been
favourably entertained and admission awarded.
Industrial Departments.
The boys in the shoe shop maintain their place as the leaders in the industrial depart-
ment. The foreman reports good improvement of all, numbering thirty-three, and the

quality of the work turned out has been up to the usual standard. There appears to be a
growing interest taken by the boys in their work, and the value of a trade bearing on
their future success is more and more understood by them. Two boys who completed
their apprenticeship in June last are now carrying on business for themselves at their
homes and are doing well. The general repairs required in the Institution and other
buildings occupy the time of the boys employed in the carpenter shop. The girls continue
to learn tailoring, dress-making, general sewing, the use of sewing machines, and fancy
work. I trust provision will be made in the near future for introducing other industries
for boys as recommended in former reports.
General Health.
The wood health of the pupils during the year was remarkable. There were few cases
of sickness, none of a serious nature, and no deaths. Many of the children come to us in
a weak state of health with poor constitutions, but with regular meals of well-cooked,
nutritious food, watchful care and constant attention they are soon brought up to a healthy
physical condition. One girl, just at the close of the official year, was removed to the
hospital suffering from pneumonia, but is now convalescent. The location of the Institu-
tion is a healthy one. The pure, country air and the breezes from the bay, with drains
regularly flushed with a copious supply of water, an absence of garbage and other refuse
matter from about the grounds, all combine to make the Institution and its surroundings
all that could be desired in a sanitary point of view.
Farm and Garden
The hay crop was the poorest we have had for ten years ; instead of getting twenty,
four tons we only gathered five. Barley and oats were about one-fourth their usual yield.
The late rains saved the roots and vegetables, and of these we shall have enough to supply
all our wants, with the exception of potatoes. The gardener took twenty-four prizes for
vegetables and flowers and the farmer four for roots and potatotes at the Bay of Quinte
District Fair, held in Belleville. Some exception was taken by a few exhibitors to our
products being placed in competition with those raised by ordinary farmers. They claim that
as our farm is under the control of the Government, and supposed to have greater facilities
for raisin0, crops, they have not an equal chance in obtaining prizes. The fact is that our
farm is one of the poorest in the neighbourhood, and it is only by extraordinary exertions
that any adequate return can be had for the labour expended. We have not been anxious
to exhibit, and it has only been upon the expressed desire of the officers of the Society
that we have competed heretofore.
Magnetic Healers.
In former reports I have warned the unwary against purchasing worthless devices
said to be sure cures for deafness, such as dentaphones, audiphones, electrophones, ear-
drums and patent medicines of various kinds. I have now to put the relatives of deaf-
mute children upon their guard against heartless quacks who pretend to cure deafness by
magnetic treatment. During the vacation a case came under my observation which calls
forth this paragraph. A young lady, about seventeen years of age, a former pupil of our
Institution, under the care of a loving grandmother who was naturally very anxious about
her granddaughter's affliction, was under treatment, by an advertised magnetic healer, for
some considerable time in one of the western towns of the Province ; the old lady had
expended, up to the time I called on her, the sum of $115, at the rate of 85 a week, and
the <nrl's hearing was not improved ; nor could she speak any better than when she was
with us, or at any time since she lost her hearing, at three years of age, the result of
scarlet fever.

Newspapers. •
We continue to receive free copies of various newspapers published in different parts
of the Province, and for which vre are particularly indebted to the publishers. They are
eagerly perused by the pupils, and as we have children from nearly every county the
local news is interesting. The following papers have come regularly : —

Miscellaneous.
By kind invitation of the directors, the pupils enjoyed a visit to the Fair held in
Belleville, under the auspices of the Bay of Quinte Agricultural Society.
The class for the study of Signs, by new teachers and officers, is appreciated by
those interested in improving in that direction. •
The institution reopened for the session on the 12th of September. All the pupils
were on hand for the classification and promotion on the Monday morning following.
A refrigerator and ice-house combined is one of our pressing necessities. A new
bakery building is also much needed, and a residence for the baker.
The surplus water which comes down the sideroad, if turned into the main sewer,
might be used effectively for flushing purposes.
The value and efficiency of our waterworks system was fully shown on the occasion
of the fire in the carpenter shop in March last. The blaze extended throughout the
lower part of the building, and was gaining rapidly when a stream of water was
turned on and the fire quenched at once.

*The friends and parents of many old pupils will regret to learn of the demise of
Dr. W. J. Palmer, the first principal of this institution. He was appointed principal
when the school was opened, and continued in that position until September, 1879.
Dr. Palmer was a man of great tact, and his ability can best be measured by the suc-
cess which attended his administration of affairs here. He took an active part in all
matters pertaining to the welfare of the deaf in this Province.
The reverend gentlemen of the city still favor us with kindly visits, and the pupils
belonging to their various denominations are always pleased to see and be instructed by
them. Those who have come to see us are Eev. J. W. Burke, Rev. J. H. George, Rev.
Mr. Learoyd, Rev. D. Mihell, Right Rev. Monseignor Farrelley, Rev. Father O'Oorman,
Rev. Mr. Pope, Rev. Mr. Browning, Rev. Mr. Daw, and Rev. Mr. Bogart.
During the sittings of the convention, the first pupil entered upon the books of the
institution, Duncan Morrison, of Collingwood, was present. I expressed a wish that he
would send his photograph to be hung up in the reception room. I received a large
photograph of him, very nicely framed, a few days ago, and intend having it enlarged by
one of the pupil artists.
The authorities of the Grand Trunk, Canada Pacific and Central Ontario railway
companies placed us under renewed obligations when school closed by issuing double
journey tickets for single fare for all pupils attending here. This is a great boon to the
parents of the children, as many of them have difficulty in providing the money for
their children's transportation. On all occasions we have received the greatest kindness
and marked attention from the officers of the above corporations.
During the past year the utmost harmony has prevailed among the officers, teachers
and other employes of the institution. By their united action the work devolving upon
us has been carried on in a very creditable manner. To one and all I am indebted for
services conscientiously performed.
The various statistical tables are attached.
Praying for the continued help and assistance of the Most High in our efforts,
I have the honor to be, sir,
Your obedient servant,
R. MATHISON,
Superintendent.

that embracing all connected with the institution. Of course, in a population of about
four hundred, made up of individuals from the tenderest years to advanced age, we had
for treatment a reasonable number of the ills that flesh is heir to, but the cases develop-
ing symptoms sufficiently serious to occasion anxiety were few and far between, and these
made a good recovery, no death whatever having occurred.
During the fall of 1887, a large number of the boys were afflicted with sore throat
of a follicular character, due to the dampness of the season. A few days in each case
were sufficient to restore the patient to his normal state of health.
Last October, our old and efficient gardener, Mr. Wills, had a severe attack of
inflammation of the kidneys, and at one time his illness assumed an alarming form.
After a tedious illness, however, he recovered and is now attending to his duties as well
as ever.
While the health of the girls was remarkably good, unceasing care was necessary in
connection with ailments peculiar to young and growing females ; but they were well
looked after by Miss Robinson and her assistants, and \ desire to express my approval of
the cheerfulness with which my instructions were carried out by those in charge of the
female, department, as well as by Mr. Douglas, the vigilant and obliging supervisor
of the boys.
Mary Mnnro, a girl about fifteen years of age, is at present suffering from a severe
attack of pneumonia, and her condition during the past few days has caused us no little
anxiety. As is usual in any serious case of illness, the relations were notilied, with the
result that her mother is now with her, and everything possible is being done which may
lead to her recovery.
The annual cleaning and renovating process, a factor of a complete sanitary condi-
tion, was carried out thoroughly during vacation. The sewers and drains are all in good
condition, except the one leading from the kitchen, which is defective and requires a
thorough overhauling, and this at once, to prevent the generation of disease germs.
Outside, a board walk has been constructed for the girls at the west end of the grounds,
thus making open air exercise possible at all seasons, a circumstance that cannot but be
productive of good results.
Mr. Mathison's chief solicitude during the session was as usual the health and com-
fort of the pupils. No efforts were spared to render the term a satisfactory one, both
physically and mentally, and to such an extent have his efforts been crowned that our
institution is a subject of admiration to every visitor and a credit to the city.
I have the honor to be, sir,
Your obedient servant,
J. B. MURPHY, M.D.,
Physician.

ONTARIO INSTITUTION
FOR THE
EDUCATION AND INSTRUCTION OF THE BLIND.
During the past year the average number of pupils in attendance at the
Institution for the Blind was 132, whilst the actual number who enjoyed the
privileges offered by it was 156, 9-i males, 62 females. The Principal in his
report states that the attendance during the current session will probably exceed
that of the past, and that demands will be made for admission up to the full
capacity of the Institution. The Principal also speaks very forcibly on the
subject of the ill-advised retention in their homes of blind children, thus depriving
them of the benefits of the education, training, etc. held out by the Institution.
The Principal gives several instances of this and shews the unfortunate results.
The disinclination to part with the afflicted one of the famity is perhaps natural,
but it ultimately adds to the affliction, as a blind person allowed to grow up
untrained and uneducated has the prospect of an unnecessarily sad, weary and
useless life. At the Convention held in Boston this year of instructors of the
blind, the subject of compulsory attendance of the blind at the special schools
was discussed and advocated by some of those present.
1 am glad to be able to state that the Examiners of the pupils in the literary
and musical classes were satisfied with the progress being made and with the
method of instruction, etc. The reports of the Examiners are included in this
report and will be found to give interesting particulars of what is being done at
the Institution.
During the past yeai, teaching on the "Kindergarten" system was
inaugurated, but too recently to speak of its likely results.
The health of the inmates during the past year was fairly good and there
were no interruptions on that score to the ordinary routine. One loss the Institu-
tion did sustain and that was of its medical attendant, Dr. Corson, who died in
August. He had been connected with the Institution since its opening and was
liked and respected by all with whom his faithfully performed duties brought
him into contact. Dr. Marquis was appointed to succeed Dr. Corson.
The Principal in his report states that the want of a gymnasium is very
much felt. I should like to see a well fitted up gymnasium added to the Institu-
tion buildings, and I trust that funds may be found for the purpose.
Inspections.
Copies of the minutes made by me after my various inspections are
appended : —
" I made an inspection of the Institution for the Blind, Brantford, on the
19th January, and saw all the pupils then under instruction, namely, 81 males
and 53 females ; and I was glad to learn that their health had been uniformly
good since the opening of the session.
" The teachers and instructors were zealously engaged in the routine of their
respective departments, and the classes appeared to be making good progress.
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1889
"The Institution was found to be in a very satisfactory condition as to
cleanliness and order.
" The special object of my visit on this occasion was to determine in regard
to the appropriation which would be required for the current year on capital
account.
" One of the projects coming under this head is the proposed introduction of
the " Kindergarten System " of teaching in the Institution ; and as the result of
correspondence and enquiries about the subject by the Principal was quite
satisfactory, his recommendation in this regard was approved.
" The whole system of instruction of the blind is, in fact, identified with the
" Kindergarten " method, and the adoption of the more systematic and compre-
hensive plan now in vogue will undoubtedly greatly facilitate the imparting of
instruction to the pupils. Representations will therefore be made to the Govern-
ment with the view of having a small sum placed to the credit of Capital Account
for the purpose of purchasing the materials required in introducing the " Kinder-
garten System."
" Other sums will be required to be expended for improving the grounds,
work-rooms, laundry, refitting boiler and pump house, material for relaying
walks, etc., the details of which will be duly submitted when the estimates are
being considered. The total amount required however will be comparatively
small, as the Institution is now in such excellent order throughout."
" I again visited the Institution for the Blind on the 29th August and found
that preparatory to the opening of the Session, on the 5th September, the build-
ings and apartments had undergone a thorough renovation. Plaster ceilings had
been removed and pine sheeting substituted where necessary.
" The plumbing and steam pipes have been overhauled and put in order, and
painting and kalsomining have been done where necessary.
" The laundry machinery purchased had been supplied according to order,
and put in position under the supervision of the Institution Engineer, in a very
satisfactory manner ; and after duly testing it, it is found to work well. In
placing the machinery due regard has been had to the convenient working of the
washers, etc., and the whole work has been substantially completed.
" In removing the old machines it was found that some renewals were
required which increased the cost of fitting up beyond the estimated sum ; but no
expenditure has been made which was not necessary to insure the permanency of
the work.
" Arrangements for the introduction of the " Kindergarten " system of in-
struction have been completed, and this work will be thoroughly prosecuted during
the ensuing session with the prospect of accomplishing much good in the early
education of the pupils.
" In connection with the educational work of the Institution, plans were
discussed with the Principal for affording some additional advantages to the older
pupils in the higher branches, and the spirit shewn by the staff in co-operating
with the Principal in carrying out the arrangements indicates that the coming
session will be a successful one.
" As the result of personal visits and the distribution of circulars, the number
of pupils in attendance is likely to be increased and the average during the
coming session promises to be greater than for some years past.
" In view of the dry season the grounds present a very creditable appearance,
and the farm crops are fairly good and the roots and vegetables will be fully
equal to the needs of the Institution."

EXAMINER'S REPORT.
Literary Department.
The Classes were examined by Mr. Wilkinson, M.A., Principal of the Brant-
t'ord Central School, and by Dr. Kelly, Public School Inspector, their report is as
under : —
The undersigned, whom you charged to undertake the examination of the literary
classes in the Institution for the Blind, at Brantford, have the honor to report for your
information the results as follows :
The examination was held on the 25th, 28th and 29th May last and finally concluded
on the 9th June. Everything about the Institution was found to be in excellent order,
and the grounds very much improved since our last official visit two years ago. The
new fence around the grounds with which the public come chiefly in contact, and the
many additional ornamental trees planted in the interval, especially the double rows of
elms along both sides of the drive from the main entrance at the head of Palmerston
Avenue, have greatly enhanced the beauty and picturesqueness of the view. The class-rooms
were clean and well ventilated and the interest, attention and order of the pupils all that
could be desired. The classes under the supervision and instruction of each teacher have
been grouped and the results of the examination summarized as follows :
1. Mr. Wickens's Classes.
Arithmetic — Class B, 13 pupils. Easy problems were submitted in fractions,
denominate numbers, etc., and were solved with facility and fair accuracy ; one got the
maximum and three the half or over.
Beading — Class A, 16 pupils present. They were exercised both in prose and
poetry and, with three exceptions, did well ; several read with good expression and pay
due regard to emphasis.
Geography — Class A. This is a favourite study with the blind and the dissected
maps which the pupils manipulate with such skill and readiness afford them a splendid
exercise. They were examined in the geography of the British Isles, Europe, Asia, and
incidentally in the general geography of the world. The average of correct answers was
very high. The physical features of some of the countries, their commerce and manu-
factories, government, religion, productions, etc., were investigated and the answers given
evince, on the part of the pupils, a thorough knowledge of the subject.
Physiology — This class was examined on the general structure of the human body ;
the location, forms and functions of the nine vital organs, including digestion, circulation
and respiration, and showed a very good knowledge of the whole. They were also ex-
amined upon the effects of alcohol on the human system, and generally upon hygiene and
acquitted themselves well.
Writing — Class A. The blind seem to realize the value of this accomplishment and
the results of the examination showed that both skill and patience had been exercised by
the teacher. As a test of penmanship and composition they were, asked to write a letter
to a piano-firm ordering an instrument which they were to describe, making enquiries as
to price, etc. The writing in most cases was quite legible and the composition fair.
Grammar — Class B. This class has a good knowledge of the elements of English
grammar ; parse and analyze very well and correct ordinary errors in English with
facility. On the whole a good class and show the value of grammar by speaking very
correctly.
~. Mr. Alexander' 8 Classes.
Arithmetic — Class D, 8 seniors and 4 juniors. This class was examined in multpli-
cation table and the four fundamental rules, easy problems. The senior division did
fairly well good work ; the junior not quite so well.
11
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 188&
Grammar — Glass A. This class numbered 13 and does exceptionally good work ;
analyze complex and compound sentences readily, parse well ; have a good knowledge of
Latin roots and of synonyms. Class about up to Entrance standard.
Reading — Class C, 20 in number in 3 sections. Reading generally fluent and with
good expression.
Writing — Class B, 21 members. Most write with facility and in legible style.
Geography— Limits of work : America generally, and the Dominion and Ontario
more particularly. They were well acquainted with the relative positions of the various
countries and their principal rivers, cities, etc. They were examined minutely in the
maps of the Dominion and Ontario in which they had been well and carefully taught.
Placing a pupil's finger on the head of a tack representing a town or city he would name
it, tell its location, manufactories, public institutions, railway facilities, etc. By means
of small paste board maps, upon which were glued strings representing the different
Ontario railways, they had been taught to trace accurately the routes, and the principal
places passed were described. The class did well.
Object Lessons — Class D ; small children learning the properties of common things,
and their uses
3. Miss Walshe's Classes.
Grammar — Class 0, 10 pupils. This class was examined in the parts of speech,
definitions, parsing and analyzing simple sentences. A well-taught class that do their
work very thoroughly.
Geography — Class D, 1 9 in number, 1 absent and 1 sick. Limit : Ontario, counties,
county towns and principal places, railways, etc. As a rule the pupils evinced an
accurate and thorough knowledge on all these points.
Arithmetic — Class A. This is one of the best classes we ever examined on the sub-
ject ; the teaching had been thoroughly done and deserves more than ordinary commenda-
tion ; difference of attainments there was certainly, but the uniform excellence was more
noticeable. The questions comprised problems in percentage, interest, application of
square and cubic measure and the whole range of fractions. The demeanor of the class
was excellent and the result of the examination most satisfactory.
Object Lessons — The senior class in this subject. Stuffed specimens of birds and
other animals used, and from these the pupils are enabled to give a very correct idea of
the size, shape, etc., of the various animals about which they read ; they were examined
as to the class, habits, and uses of the specimens used, and answered admirably. Too high
praise cannot be bestowed on the pains taken in the instruction of this class.
Reading — Class A. This subject of primary importance in the education of the
blind is well taught ; the class consists of several sections in different degrees of advance-
ment. Each member was examined by opening his book at random and directing him to
read. The words were readily recognized, read with distinctness, correct emphasis and
pleasing tone.
Writing — Class C. This class writes very fairly ; they were examined in the
formation of capitals and figures as well as in the writing of some sentences ; they do
their work well for a class lately beginning.
4- Miss Gillen's Classes.
A. English History — Limits : from the beginning of the Stuart period to date.
The class numbers 19 ; they, the pupils, were thoroughly examined on the social, political
and constitutional changes of the period, as far at least as time would permit, and ex-
hibited much more than the average knowledge of the subject. All but two got half the
maximum or over.
12
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1889
B. Canadian History — Same class as last. They were put through a generalrev iew
of this subject, including the early explorations, discoveries and settlements of the French,
the English conquest, the constitutional and other changes since, touching all of which
the answering was excellent.
Writing — Class D, 1 1 pupils. The writing of this class was very good, there being
only one inferior writer among the pupils.
Arithmetic — Class C. The examination afforded abundant evidence of faithful work ;
it consisted of problems, involving a knowledge of the general rules of arithmetic, of the
tables of weights and measures and practical problems. The problem was first distinctly
stated to the class, then waiting about two minutes as an average for the solution ; as the
pupils finish they rise( one is asked to state the result when all who agree with him sit
down. Every problem submitted was solved by same number of the class.
English Grammar — Class D. The pupils here have mastered the elementary parts
of etymology and some of the simplest rules of syntax ; their replies were in the main
correct and one-half did excellent work.
English Literature — This class numbers 16 and consists of the best and brightest of
the advanced pupils. The subject is a favourite one and the class manifests a wonderful
liking for it ; the examination occupied some hours. The history of English literature
was passed rapidly in review, the Anglo-Saxon writers as Caedman, Bede, Alfred the
Great, the early Norman as Lanfranc and Anselm ; Chaucer, and his contemporaries in
Britain, France and Italy ; something of the Troubadors and Trouveres and the chronicle
writers, the authors of the Benaissance as More, Colet and Erasmus, and the galaxy that
adorned the "spacious" times of great Elizabeth, etc. The knowledge displayed along
the whole range was astonishing. The drama of Macbeth had been carefully studied,
the plot and drift of the plays was thoroughly understood and the most striking passages
had been memorized by the members of the class. Of the outlines of French literature
they had also learned something, Saintsbury'a Primer had been used on this as the Rev.
Stopford Brook's had been in English literature. The examination on the whole was
very satisfactory and reflected credit on both teacher and pupil.
Mr, Conolly's Classes.
A. Writing — Class C, a class of 16 ; 8 of whom write fairly well.
B. Reading — Class D. Some of this class are just learning the alphabet, others are
reading words of one syllable. They had evidently been carefully taught and showed
considerable aptitude in recognizing the different letters and words.
C. Gymnastics — This subject had been taught with great care ; the various extension
movements, timed by the organ played by one of the pupils, were made with greatest
accuracy ; the whole of the exercises were well done and showed the attention and care
bestowed by the Instructor.
Junior Classes in Arithmetic and English Grammar — Class E, a division of 15
pupils, in three sections, under a pupil teacher. The first section (Numbering three pupils)
did fair work in arithmetic, and one did well in grammar ; the second section also did
fairly well in arithmetic and very well in grammar ; the third section, 6 present, 1 absent,
a little below the mark in arithmetic but fair in grammar.
Here closes the report of the results of the examination.
In the pupil's library are 1,650 volumes in embossed print and about 400 in point
print ; since midsummer, 1886, about 200 volumes have been added. The teachers and
reference library contains about 1,400 volumes.
To the Museum there have been recently added specimens of the seal, kangaroo, red
ox, squirrel, duck, eagle, horned owl, wild turkey, grey heron, models of ear and eye, of
vertbrae and ribs ; the equipment altogether is very fair. A gymnasium is still very
13

much needed and ought, if possible, to be speedily supplied. The work of next year was
talked over between the teachers and the Examiners, aided by the Principal, the work,
that is so far as English is concerned, and an outline was sketched that will probably be
found satisfactory.
In conclusion we have to thank the Principal and his staff for many attentions and
courtesies during the examination.
Musical Department.
This was again examined by Professor Aldons, of Hamilton. A copy of hi&
report is given below :
I beg to submit my report on the musical examination which I held at the Institution
for the Blind, at Brantford. on Thursday, May 31st, and Friday, June 1st. Owing to
the fact that there was no musical examination held last year on account of sickness, I
found many of the pupils much advanced since I last saw them two years ago. It is
unnecessary to make any detailed note of the classes in piano and pipe- organ playing,
under Mr. H. F. Williams ; piano students, under Miss Callaghan ; and piano and reed
organ students, under Miss Moore. They all showed the results of careful and sympa-
thetic teaching, proving that their teachers take a keen interest in their progress, and
help them by every means in their power. I would note the beneficial results of a graded
system of study, which has the effect of putting each pupil through a more complete and
systematic training than had hitherto been the case, besides tending to develop among
the pupils a healthy spirit of emulation.
I was also pleased to find some of the older and more advanced students being
employed as pupil teachers, thereby fitting themselves for future work in that department.
The results of their teaching I found very satisfactory. The various grades of harmony
students, some under Mr. Williams and some under Miss Moore, are making good
advance, as also the point print class under Miss Moore. Owing to the temporary
retirement of Mrs. Howson through ill-health, the vocal department has been for the past
few months under the care of Miss Callaghan. As a proof of the thoroughness of their
training, the full choral class sang the first long fugue chorus from " Bebekah," with
hardly any hesitation, a task by no means easy for those in full possession of their sight,
as is well known to all who are familiar with the work. Some very fair solo and duet
singing was done by female voices, but the male department was decidedly weak, owing
principally to the fact that some of the older pupils, who could give valuable assistance,
fancy they have not time to devote to it. The violin pupils, under the instraction of
Professor Baker, of Gait, in their various degrees of advancement show evidence of
painstaking and thorough teaching. The more advanced pupils played their pieces
prepared for the forthcoming concert in an artistic manner, as well as with good
technical skill.
There are several students well advanced in tuning, under Mr. Baymond's guidance.
Some were prepared to go out and earn a good livelihood by that means. I should like
especially to notice the heartiness of the singing at the daily service in the hall, a feature
which, being carefully attended to, makes their daily worship more hearty and devout. I
was pleased to find that the stock of pianos was very much better than on the occasion
of my last visit. The addition of several new ones and the restoration of some of the
old cannot but have a beneficial effect on the pupils who, from their peculiar affliction,,
are more sensitive than most to the condition of the instrument they play on.
Concerning the grand piano, which is very unsatisfactory both in touch and tone, I
should strongly recommend that it be dispensed with altogether (not repaired), and a
really good one procured which should then be kept solely for concert purposes, and
never used for ordinary practising.

The increase in the cost is chiefly due to the higher prices charged for meat,
Hour, butter and other food supplies, and for coal ; also, unusual expenditures
were incurred in repairs, furnishings and bedding, owing to the outbreak of
diphtheria.

statistical tables attached ; also, the report of the Acting-Surgeon.

PRINCIPAL'S REPORT.
To Robert Christie, Esq.,
Inspector of Public Institutions, etc.
Sir, — I have the honour, as Principal of the Ontario Institution for the Education
•and Instruction of the Blind, to present my report for the year ending September 30th,
1888. As usual, I shall in the first place notice the number of
Pupils in Attendance.
The session which terminated on the 13th June last, showed an enrolment of 136
pupils, or six less than 1886-7. Of the 136 eighty-three were males and fifty-three
females.
The pupils in actual residence on tbe 30th September, 1888, numbered 124; of these
seventy-one were males and fifty-three females. The corresponding number in 1887 was
127, of whom seventy-seven were males and fifty females. The attendance of males on
the 30th September, 1888, was thus, it will be seen, six less, while of females there were
three more than in 1887. Of the 136 registered in 1887-8, there were 103, fifty-nine
males and forty-four females, in attendance on the 30th September, 1888, leaving thirty-
three to be accounted for as follows : —

In addition to the pupils already returned, or who may be expected to return ere long,
and numbering together 134, there are five new applicants for admission on the list, with a
reasonable prospect that other cases will be heard of as the session advances. An average
attendance, or rather more than our recent average, may, therefore, be anticipated. On
the male pupils' side we shall, without any doubt, have our full number, eighty, which is
all we can%uitably accommodate without undue crowding. With the new year we shall
probably have close upon 140 pupils to report in residence.
For several years after the Institution opened a regidar canvass of the Province was
maintained, and the large attendance in the years 1878 to 1881 was no doubt due, in a
great degree, to the vigorous efforts then put forth. But it was very naturally argued
that, with time, the fact of such an Institution being in existence, and the advantages
offered by it, would have obtained so much publicity as to make special and expensive
efforts in that direction unnecessary. Visits of this kind have consequently been chiefly
confined, for some time past, to a few points on the main lines of travel taken by our
officers when acting as guides to pupils, or to places where cases were known to exist of
blind youths eligible for admission. In the eastern portion of the Province three of our
officers have this year made such visits. The western part has been more systematically
worked. One of our staff, Mr. J. D. Alexander, has taken journeys extending north-
ward to Lake Xipissing and westward to Windsor, covering a large area of ground in
various directions in the course of his travels. His labours have borne good fruit and
their effect will be attended with further benefit in time to come.
I am compelled, however, to admit that our exertions in this respect are too often
followed by disappointment. Reluctance to part with a blind son or daughter is natural
enough ; but when that reluctance is carried to such an extent as to lead to the life-ruin
of the objects of mistaken affection it becomes criminal. Let me give a few instances in
our experience on this point.
A young girl, totally blind, but once bright and intelligent, and possessing a sweet
voice which she kept in full exercise and which might have been trained to great advantage
has been under my notice for nearly seven years. Her parents have been again and again
urged to send her to the Institution, and every inducement that might be expected to
influence them to discharge this obvious duty has been held out. Meantime seclusion
confinement to the house and the dull routine of back settlement life have done their
cruel work. She is a young woman of twenty now, deaf, dull, listless, apathetic, all the
possible joys of existence denied, and every hope, talent and aspiration strangled by
parental folly.
A boy, then fifteen years of age, residing in a village on a line of railway, was, in
answer to an application, notified some four years since of his admission. The family
were poor, but good natured neighbours contributed a purse of fifty dollars for the lad's
2 (B.) 17
•52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1889
outfit and travelling expenses. Unfortunately the money was banded over to the boy's
friends, a period of festivity followed, the fund was exhausted, and the boy has remained
at home to this day. He bad formerly some animation and mingled, so far as able, in
the sports of other lads. He is now nearly a man in years, idle, secretive, and morose,
certain as time goes on to become a burden and, possibly, a danger to the community.
His case is one among several I could name of a nearly analogous character.
Let me mention one more. I received, a few months since, from a public man, in a
western county, a letter inquiring on what terms a blind boy, eleven or twelve years of
age, the son of persons in reduced circumstances, could be admitted to the Institution.
I had only to tell the writer that the. same boy had been on our list of prospective pupils
for four or five years, that he had been periodically visited and that his parents alone were
to blame if, since he was old enough to come to us, be had not been receiving a first-class
and gratuitous education. In the course of the late vacation a fresh attempt was made.
The boy was found running about the street of a country village, frequenting the tavern
and listening to all the bad language and coarse and profane conversation prevailing in
such places, and calling for his pipe with the air and authority of a man of importance.
His parents can stand his rapid moral deterioration, his liability to accident, his intro-
duction into every bad habit, yet have not the sense and firmness to send him to an
institution where his health, safety, morals and education would be all watched over, and
that too as they can be in no ordinary home.
I might give a whole string of such instances of ignorant, criminal, neglect and folly,
but let these for the moment suffice. To provide an effectual remedy is not easy. The
educational law of Ontario makes the attendance of children at a public school compul-
sory. The truant officer is a recognized authority. I remember when, in 1871, a new
school Act was before the Local Legislature, the author of which was th.3 late Dr.
E»erton Ryerson, the leader of the Opposition in a somewhat lively criticism of certain
loosely drawn clauses, showed that a contumacious parent who kept a child from school
mi<dit suffer continuous and even perpetual imprisonment. The penalties under the Act
have of course, never gone to that length, but there are penalties and there is compulsion.
Yet the chances are that the seeing child is detained from school more from necessity
than choice, to supply domestic help or provide a small addition to a too meagre income.
But the blind child until trained is useless, not a factor in any sense in the social economy of
the household, and yet with all the tendencies to evil of his more active and independent
vision-possessing associates. On the other hand, legislatures and governments can only
act as public opinion sustains them. Would public opinion approve of a law bringing
pressure to bear on the parents of a blind child so as to compel them to avail of the privi-
leges which public liberality and policy provide for his education? My own opinion has
been in times past that public opinion has not been ripe for such heroic treatment even
of an unquestionable evil. At the late Convention of Instructors of the Blind, at Balti-
more the subject of compulsory attendance was discussed, and I took a position some-
what adverse to such legislation. But the proofs which the last few months have afforded
of the gross stupidity of parents and its sad results have induced me to desire that with
proper safeguards some remedy might be applied when, after the child has arrived at a
given age, the excuse for retaining him or her at home can exist no longer. Meantime,
may I appeal to all who read this report to second the efforts used to overcome the
reluctance of parents and their unnecessary fears for the happiness of those who, if once
here would only regret that they had not been admitted long before. In order to secure
the help we need in this direction, three thousand copies of the following circular were
recently addressed to the respective ministers of religion and township clerks of the
Province, and several applications have come to hand in consequence :
" Ontario Institution for the Blind,
"Brantford, July 25th, 1888.
" Dear Sir, — Should you be acquainted with any young persons in your neighbor-
hood who are blind, or whose sight is so impaired that their education, or the discharge
of the ordinary duties of life, is thereby interfered with, may I beg you to supply me
18
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1889
■with the addresses of such in order that I may take immediate steps to bring before their
friends the benefits offered by this Institution. Although the Institution has now been
established for sixteen years, I have reason to believe there are some as yet ignorant even
of its existence, to whom the advantages it presents would be of inestimable value. And
if you know of those who, while aware that the Institution exists, have neglected to
avail of its privileges for a blind or partially blind son or daughter, I would ask you to
use your influence to convince them that their duty to themselves, to their child and to
society, should overcome all reluctance and hesitation.
" The pupils of this Institution receive a literary education equal and in some
respects superior to that afforded by the ordinary public schools ; if musical, they are
instructed thoroughly in the organ, pianoforte, violin and theory of music ; the male
pupils are, according to aptitude and capacity, taught pianoforte tuning, or chair-making
and basket work ; the female pupils, machine and hand-sewing, machine and hand-
knitting, bead work and fancy work generally. Board and instruction are gratuitous.
The moral and religious training of all receives careful attention, while members of the
various churches are strictly protected against interference with their particular views
and opinions.
" The health of the Institution is watched over by a physician who is in daily
attendance. The situation of the Institation is delightful, and means for exercise are
ample. It is always open to visitors, and friends of pupils can see them at any time.
The present vacation will terminate on the 5th of September next, and applicants for
admission will do well to communicate with me at once, but they can be received during
the session if not able to join at the date mentioned.
" I am, dear sir,
" Very respectfully yours,
" A. H. Dymoxd,
" Principal."
The Staff.
As in former years, I have to bear grateful testimony to the able and generous sup-
port received from the staff of the Institution. A change has occurred in the industrial
branch, Miss L. Muirhead, instructress in knitting, having retired and been succeeded by
Miss Laura H. Haycock. At Christmas the voluntary resignation of Mr. Francis Flanagan,
junior resident-master, created a vacancy which was filled by the appointment of Mr.
B. G. Connolly. The decision of the Government, favorable to the establishment of a
kindergarten class, as recommended in my last report, led to inquiries being made for a
lady competent to take charge of that branch of instruction. These resulted in the
appointment of Miss Emma Johnson, who had recently passed an examination for
" Directress," in connection with the Normal School Kindergarten, at Toronto, with great
credit. In order to gain practical experience in the adaptation of the ordinary kinder-
garten system of teaching to blind pupils' requirements, Miss Johnson is about proceed-
ing to New York where, in connection with the kindergarten work at the Institution for
the Blind, in that city, she will, by the kindness of its able superintendent, Mr. W. B.
Wait, acquire all necessary information for her future interesting duties.
The Late Dr. W. C. Corson.
I cannot close my reference to late and present colleagues without a special allusion
to the loss the Institution has sustained in the death of its excellent medical officer, Dr.
W. 0. Corson, which took place early in August last. Dr. Corson was appointed at the
very opening of the Institution. His services consequently extended over sixteen years,
of which period seven years had elapsed since we became colleagues. The relations of
the Medical Officer and Principal are very intimate and often involve matters of a confi-
dential and more or less delicate character. The greatest mutual confidence should exist
between them, and I am glad to be able to feel that the friendly regard necessary to
19
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No 4). A. 188&
perfect freedom of communication was never broken during the whole time we were
associated. Although Dr. Corson did not pretend to be a specialist in regard to diseases
affecting the sight, and for surgical treatment of the eye our pupils are alwa}'s placed
under the care of a skilled oculist, yet, from previous study and a large held for observa-
tion here, Dr. Corson was usually found correct in his advice as to the advisability of
such treatment and also able greatly to alleviate the sufferings of those in whose cases the
trouble was of an active or progressive character. In his general medical practice among
the pupils his kindly manner secured respect and confidence, while any attempt by a.
patient to overrate symptoms or to cause needless trouble was soon detected and effectu-
ally repressed. If Dr. Corson was apt to err a little at times by taking too serious a
view of the case before him, it was, I 'think, largely from his knowledge of the great
responsibilities resting upon those in charge of such an institution as this, and his anxiety
that no hesitation promptly to adopt any measures the circumstances required should be
laid to our charge. Although a man of years and large experience Dr. Corson was
always not only willing but apparently happy to accept assistance and advice from others.
And while he would have been the last to deny that those who were successively to fill
his office, when he should be here no longer, might be his equals in professional skill and
knowledge, it may be safely predicted that no one will be found more exact than Dr.
Corson in attendance, more faithful to duty or more devoted in his services to those who
from time to time looked to him for aid.
The appointment of Dr. Marquis, who has for many years had an extensive practice
in this neighborhood, as Dr. Corson's successor, will give much satisfaction to those who
are familiar with Dr. Marquis' high character and professional reputation.
The Literary Classes.
For the progress and attainments of our pupils in the literary departments of study
the reports of the examiners may be referred to. Owing to the omission of the examina-
tions, for sufficient reasons explained in my last report, in 1887, to a large number of
pupils the ordeal was a new experience altogether and the most kind and considerate
handling of the examiners notwithstanding, a degree of nervousness was observable in
many which certainly impaired their ability to answer promptly and correctly. A large
proportion of the pupils, however, did well, and the teachers and Principal felt, as in
previous years, that the Examiners' visit was very helpful and stimulating in its general
effect. It has been my desire for some time past to attain to a somewhat higher level
than we have hitherto reached in our literary work. The tastes of many of our pupils lie
very decidedly in a literary direction, and it is right these should be gratified. Nor is
there any reason why, where personal circumstances enable the possessor of special talent
to put it to the best advantage, it should not be called into exercise. If behind the
darkened orbit there lies the brain of a successful orator, preacher, lecturer, lawyer or
politician, there can be no good reason for the world losing the benefits such powers may
confer upon mankind. It is not improbable that in a few years a college will be
established on this continent for the higher education of blind youths. Such exist in
Great Britain already. We can but pretend here to lay the humble foundation for such
work and propose to proceed only by short steps. After consultation with the examiners
it was decided to add such subjects as Elocution, Ethnology, Philology and Mental
Philosophy to our course of study and to widen the researches of our literature class by
taking up within certain limits Spanish, French and Italian literature. With the excep-
tion of the class in Mental Philosophy, for which it has not yet been found easy to assign
time without the curtailment of other studies, all the above arrangements are now being
carried into effect. With our Kindergarten class in operation for juniors, in addition to
the increased advantages afforded as above described to senior pupils, the session should
shew at its close a good record.
The Music Classes.
The report of Professor Aldous testifies to the generally satisfactory condition of the
musical department, and the exhibition of the pupils' abilities at our closing concert must
20
£>2 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1889
have convinced those present that the examiners' eulogiums were not exaggerated. The
serious illness of Mrs. Howson deprived the vocal classes of her services during the greater
part of the session. Mrs. Howson's place, however, was ably filled by Miss Callaghan,
another member of the stall', and the reputation of the classes did not suffer under her
talented management. The formation of a junior vocal class has enlarged the work in
this bianch of study. With the advent of the kindergarten some further modification
of our plans in this regard may be found desirable. Six of our pupils — three males and
three females — are training lor music teachers and have daily opportunities for practising
with '.lasses of beginners the art of instruction.
The Tuning Class.
The tuning classes consist of eighteen pupils, two young men, who had taken a full
course of instruction, having graduated at the close of last session. Of the eighteen now
in the Institution, the two seniors have general charge of all pianos, and are also respon-
sible for seeing that the other pupils are punctually and fully employed in their respective
practice hours. Eleven receive direct instruction from Mr. Raymond, and the five
juniors are initiated into the primary stages of the tuner's art by the three most advanced
seniors. The whole of the pianos used for tuning practice have been overhauled and
thoroughly repaired during the vacation. I venture to believe that this department has
never been in a more promising state of efficiency than at the present time.
Tin: Willow Shop.
Three young men have graduated with full outfits from the willow shop, and one
-with a partial outfit. The latter departure from our usual practice was only permitted
■out of consideration for certain reasons of a personal nature, and the grant of models
was limited exclusively to those articles in which the pupils had become fairly proficient.
The case, however, is not to be regarded as a precedent for such concessions, ft is
necessary in the interest of pupils, and to the reputation of the Institution, that those
who seek the benefit it offers should attend regularly, stay their full term, and be thor-
oughly competent before they are recognized as tit to enter the lists with seeing rivals in
the trade. I append our Trades' Instructor's report :
Trades' Instructor's Report.
Mr. A. H. Dvmond,
Principal.
Sir, — I have the honor to submit my report upon the operation of the workshop,
during the year ending Sept. 30th, 1888.
The session has been one of steady progress and industry on the part of nearly all
of the twenty-seven pupils who have received instruction in the willow department. The
two or three exceptions are pupils whose admission to the workshop may be regarded as
an experiment from the fact that, in addition to their blindness, their extreme weakness
both of 1'Oily and mind might almost have seemed to have placed them beyond instruc-
tion. Under those circumstances, progress is very slow. Bnt they are, nevertheless,
making progress, and it is very gratifying to observe a gradual improvement in bodily
health and strength, induced, I believe, by their physical and mental energies being thus
call! int ) action. The prospect of their gradu ition as finished workmen may be remote,
the cost of their instruction may exce d that fit tli r and brighter pupils, but the
results as indicated above should, I think, secure for them all the benefit which a pro-
longed training affords.
During the session, the conduct of the pupils, while under my observation and con-
trol, has been good, that is, according to my own standard. I have no sympathy with
the false sentiment which expects to find in every blind person the character or an
afflicted saint. The lo-^s of sight, often allied with extreme bodily weakness, should not
21
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1889
be regarded in any special sense as means of grace, but rather as defects which tend to
produce fretfulness and chafing under the restraints of discipline. Notwithstanding this,
I regard the conduct of the pupils under my care as having been good during the entire
session.
The following statement shows the amount of saleable work made last session by
pupils during their nine months' training :
Sales by Trades' Instructor $500 00
Work on hand not sold 200 00
Total $700 00
The above statement conveys but an imperfect idea of the amount of labor actually
performed by the workshop pupils. It represents perhaps one-half of the goods turned
out, for it must be remembered that all of them are mere learners, consequently the
product is frequently of such a character that no commercial value can be attached to it.
Added to the above statement of work performed might be noted the peeling of several
tons of green willow for workshop and vacation supplies, which usually occupies the
pupils for about a month in the later pei-iod of the year, and is a great saving of expense
to the Institution.
Popils' Vacation "Work.
For the purpose of keeping our pupils employed during the vacation and giving them
an opportunity of earning pocket money, a supply of willow was distributed. The
following statement shows the result :

Graduates.
At the close of the session it was found that three of the workshop pupils were
ready to graduate. They have, with your approval been supplied with outfits at a cost of
about eighty dollars each. The outfits included a full supply of tools, models, willow,
etc. These young men are now working at their homes, one in London, one in Hamilton,
and the other in Orangeville, with every prospect of success in their effort to support
themselves.
A respectful protest in regard to what I believe is calculated to mislead in forming
expectations of the success or non-success of graduates may be permitted My remarks
are the fruit oi* nearly sixteen years' experience and observation. To the question so
often put to me, " Do you not find a law of compensation applied to the blind 1 " meaning,
I suppose, that, if the power of vision is lost, some other power is given as a compensa-
tion, I would say that 1 have not discovered any such compensation, and that the loss of*
a a
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1889
sight reduces the working ability of a blind workman to less than one-half that of the
seeing workman. The blind workman is handicapped, and the best compensation that
can be given him, and ought to be given to him by the public, is the purchase of his labor,
I have the honor to be, sir,
Your obedient servant,
Tuos. Truss,
Trade Instructor.
Our excellent Trades' Instructor in his report omits to mention one feature in our
workshop arrangements which adds materially to his difficulties and responsibilities, and
to which, injustice to an esteemed colleague and most worthy officer, I may be allowed
to refer. The material he has to train for usefulness in life, to convert into skilled work-
men and independent industrious citizens is drawn mainly from three sources. The school
rooms supply a good proportion. Many are bright well educated lads who, having first
received a fair literary education, are anxious to be taught a trade and ambitious to
graduate at as early a period as possible. They have been already disciplined, have
acquired habits of subordination and application and give little trouble. Another class
consists of young men — some, as our reports show, not very young men either — who have
lost their sight after attaining to years of maturity or by some mischance have neglected
to join the Institution at an earlier age. With not a lew of these the willow shop is not
the destination of their own choice. Their taste may be for literature, music or for the
piano-tuning profession. Yet, for reasons which may be easily comprehended, their
admission to these courses would be objectionable and almost impossible. But, if they
are willing to join others who enter to learn the willow trade and can be placed under the
kind but firm direction of Mr. Truss, my hesitation to admit them is greatly lessened.
Still it will be readily understood how judicious must be the management of adult pupils
thus situated. A third class of pupils turned over to Mr. Truss are those to whom the
willow shop gives the last and only chance of remaining in the Institution, enjoying its
benefits and learning an honest calling. These are youths of erratic, not to say bad pro-
pensities, who need to be closely employed and under direct supervision for just as many
hours as they can be reasonably kept at work. Pupils of this sort have not the self-
respect nor the sense of the necessity for submitting to circumstances which usually
distinguish grown up men. Xor have they the steady purpose and honorable ambition of
the youths first mentioned. If some of these in the end turn out well it is their Instruc-
tor, so far as human instrumentality goes, we and they have to thank for it.
The Work Room, Knitting, and Bead Classes.
These classes are well filled, all but very few of our female pupils devoting a portion
of their time to industrial work. The change in the head of the knitting and fancy work
classes has been already referred to. The variety and quality of work clone in both
branches of female industry is, I venture to think, highly creditable to pupils and teachers.
Some arrangements for the better display to visitors of pupils' work are in progress.
The Library.
The additions to the library during the year have been Homer's Iliad, Book II.
(Bryant's translation) ; The Bible, 24 vols. ; Ben Huiy4 vols. ; Life of Walter Scott;
Conquest of Grenada, 3 vols. ; David Copperfield, 2 vols. ; Tanglewood Tales, 4 vols. ;
Lockyer's Astronomy, 2 vols. ; Greek Heroes, Old Rome and New Italy ; Our World,
Part II.; Book of Common Prayer, and Queen of the Pirate Isle, in line letter;
and Music of the World, 2 vols. ; Emerson's Conduct of Life, 3 vols. ; Pilgrims-Progress,
3 vols ; Irving's Sketch-Book, 3 vol*., and th^ Mthodist Catechism, in point print.
The supply of specimens for object teaching has been considerably increased. Two.
excellent sectional maps of Asia for class use have been constructed by the carpenter of
23
62 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1889
the Institution, under the direction of Mr. Wickens, and were brought into practical use
in time to admit of the senior class being prepared for examination in the
geography of that continent. The new map, which also includes Australia, now
completes a set of sectional maps in duplicate, representing the whole of the globe's sur-
face Mr. Alexander has also, with much ingenuity, constructed a number of hand maps
of Ontario and the Dominion, especially with the view of keeping those pupils in class
profitably employed who are not for the moment being instructed on the large sectional
maps.
Health.
The session of 1887-8 was happily free from any cases of contagious disorders. The
earlier and later portions of the session were marked by a particularly healthy condition
of tilings generally. But in the winter and early spring the peculiar atmospheric influ-
ences which existed and were felt everywhere occasioned us much cause for anxiety. One
of our female pupils, a very delicate girl, whose tendency to lung disease had greatly
interfered with her attendance at the Institution, was attacked with bronchitis which
developed into pneumonia and ultimately proved fatal. The young sufferer was much
beloved by her officers and fellow-pupils for her many endearing qualities, and her death
was felt keenly by all of us. Shortly after her decease four male pupils of different ages
varying from seven to twenty years, were attacked with pneumonia in a very severe form.
All, however, recovered and regained good' health. Then came a wave of " Rathelm," or
" German measles," which invaded the Institution as well as the whole surrounding
district and many other neighborhoods. The complaint was in only a few cases attended
with sickness, and, except for the temporary interruption of class-work, occasioned no
inconvenience to those attacked. I must not in this connection omit to make mention of
the most kind and efficient services of Dr. Secord, of this city, who acted as medical
attendant owing to the illness and death of Dr. Corson, from February to the date of this
report. The young girl, whose death has been mentioned, was the last serious case
attended by Dr. Corson, who then, as at all times, although in rapidly failing health,
most faithfully discharged his duty. In the later cases of pneumonia Dr. Secord's quick
perception of the fluctuations in the patients' condition, vigorous treatment and constant
watchfulness, supplemented by the skilled nursing supplied by the staff of our excel-
lent local hospital, were, I believe, the cause to no small extent of the favorable issue.
My relations with Dr. Secord were particularly agreeable and his temporary services here
secured for him the conhdence and regard of all interested in the management of the
Institution.
Discipline.
As this report is largely interesting to parents and those who have young relatives
under our care, I desire to say a few words in connection with some matters in which
their assistance may be beneficial. Practices accounted quite harmless by many persons
may nevertheless be utterly out of keeping with the order of a public school or institution.
Tobacco smoking and chewing come under this head. The evil or benefit of smoking is,
with many good people, quite an open question, and I do not desire to enter into it. As
to chewing, with its necessary accompaniment of expectoration to the defilement of every-
thing with which it comes i^L contact, I have no hesitation in alluding to it as a
filthy and disgusting habit, unworthy of anyone desirous of maintaining his own self-
respect or showing respect to other persons. Our rules and discipline are based on the
assumption that the Institution is established for the instruction of blind youths from
seven to twenty-one years of age. If others of more advanced age choose to avail of its
advantages their acceptance of our rules is a necessary and well understood condition,
and our rule in regard to tobacco reads as follows : —
" The use of tobacco in any form by pupils either on or off the premises of the
Institution is prohibited."
This is plain and emphatic enough, and so well known to all the pupils that its
violation constitutes a wilful act of insubordination. Smoking has but occasionally, I
24
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4). A. 1889
have reason to believe, been indulged in. It is hardly necessary to say that it could only
be tolerated in the case of blind youths at great risk to the safety <©f the property of the
Institution, and, perhaps, the lives of its inmates. Tobacco-chewing has more frequently
been resorted to, and last session was practised surreptitiously by too many, some of whom
were not among the older pupils either. The habit has been fatal in one instance within
my experience, and has caused serious injury to others of our pupils. It produces an
anaemic condition of the blood, dyspepsia, a failure of the digestive organs, and great
irritation of the coats of the stomach. So much for its physically mischievous tenden-
cies. But this is only one class of evils resulting from the practice. It has to be carried
on surreptitiously, in other words deceptively, and no youth engaged in a daily effort to
deceive his teachers and disguise his actions can avoid gradual moral degradation. When,
too, by the force of example the habit spreads, the seeds of insubordination and disor-
ganization are sown, and these bear fruit in other offences and breaches of discipline. At
the close of the last session, I gave public warning that, with the reassembling of the
pupils, all forbearance on my part would be at an end. The new session was opened with
a similar notification. A pupil, evidently determined to defy authority and elude detec-
tion, persisted in breaking the rules. He was discovered in the act, reported and forth-
with expelled. Since his expulsion I have discovered that his practices in regard to
tobacco were such as to cause imminent danger of fire, with possibly most disastrous
results. My authority is, of course, limited to the nine months of the year in which the
pupils are in attendance, but parents may do much to assist me during that period if they
will by their influence discourage and, as far as possible, prevent their sons from using
tobacco at home. They may know from the foregoing what will happen if pupils offend
here. I am glad to say that, so far as I am able to judge, the present session has commenced
with a general intention on the part of the pupils to subordinate any unwise or selfish
tastes and habits to the demands of an Institution from which they receive such priceless
advantages.
Improvements.
In addition to the usual repairs and internal improvements, some alterations have
been made in connection with the west (male pupils') side of the premises, which, in a
sanitary and other points of view, were much needed. The entire remodelling of the
laundry at rangements, and the purchase and fitting up of a complete set of the Troy
Laundry Company's machinery, has been a most profitable and desirable step in every
sense. Cleanliness, the preservation of the goods from injury and the reduction of labor
are among the gains by this change.
One Thing yet Needed.
The liberality of the government and legislature has now provided the Institution
with a most efficient staff of officers, very ample educational appliances, and all that can
be needed in the way of personal comforts. The building is large enough for our
ordinary population, even although, for some departments, more particularly the music
and tuning classes, additional rooms would be useful. For the intellectual and industrial
training of our pupils little is needed that we have not now at command or shall have
shortly under existing arrangements. But the physical training- of the pnpils is sadly
defective, and must be so until we are able to secure it by systematic methods on a much
more extensive scale than at present. It is, perhaps, natural that the question, " What
can blind people do with a gymnasium ? " should be asked by those who have not taken
the means to ascertain the fact, well known to the educators of the blind, that of all
classes of people in the world the blind need a gymnasium most. And for two reasons : —
First, because they are necessarily debarred from all the healthful, physical and robust
exercises of seeing youths ; secondly, because blindness or partial blindness always has a
tendency to produce an awkward and groping gait which only drilling can overcome. I
may add, too, that, partly from inherent constitutional weakness, partly from want of a
demand upon them for muscular effort in early life, a large proportion of the blind are
weak in the hands and arms, the fingers are limp and the wrists feeble. Can or need

more be said to show that, in justice to our pupils, a gymnasium with suitable appliances
should be without further delay provided ] For the seeing youths of the Province
attending the High Schools, I believe the construction of a gymnasium is compulsory.
In this city of Brantford, we have a Collegiate Institute well attended by pupils of both
sexes. The building has no particular pretensions to convenience. The ventilation is
bad, the method of heating is primitive and imperfect. The Minister of Education
leaves these radical defects to be righted by the trustees, as they no doubt will be in the
fulness of time. But while, on the one side, the female pupils are drilled by a professor
of the art, the Minister insists on the male pupils — lusty, young fellows whose every
spare moment is devoted to baseball, lacrosse, cricket, lawn tennis, canoeing, and every
other form of amusement calculated to promote their physical development — having a
gymnasium, otherwise the government grant will be stopped. So these stalwarts have a
gymnasium as a first necessity in the opinion of the Education department. Our pupils,
on the other hand, although every other want is most liberally supplied, have not that
which is, indeed, a first necessity. In this respect we are sadly behind most institutions
on this continent worthy to be regarded as examples to be followed.
The Grounds, the Farm, the Garden.
A good deal has been done this year towards further beautifying the grounds, and
some efforts in a horticultural direction have been made. But the protracted droughts
from which we have suffered to even a greater extent than some surrounding districts,
have been very unfavorable either to tree culture or field crops. The failure of our
potato crop last year from the same cause, occasioning as it did a large expenditure for
outside supplies, induced us to plant a larger area with this necessary article of consump-
tion. We shall consequently have more than we require for home use. Root crops will
be fairly good, grasses have fallen short, although of our permanent pasture we obtained
an early average yield.
Acknowledgments.
I am glad to say the most pleasant relations continue to exist between the Institution
and our city neighbors. My thanks are due to the clergy and others in prominent
positions for their kindly interest and frequent courtesies.
I have the honor to be, sir,
Your obedient servant,
A. H. DYMOND,
Principal.

PHYSICIAN'S REPORT.
R. Chkistie, Esq.,
Inspector of Prisons and Public Charities,
Province of Ontario.
Sir, — As Physician pro tern, to the Ontario Institution for the Education of the Blind,
the duty devolves upon me of submitting the necessary report for the year ending September
30th, 1888.
My duties at the Institution commenced in the latter part of February, when Dr.
Corson was obliged, on account of failing health, to cease his attendance, and in reporting
upon the health of the pupils for that part of the year previous to the 1st of March I
must depend upon the Physician's journal. Upon looking it over I find that, apart from
a few cases of tonsillitis, there had been practically no cases of illness until the end of
January, when one of the female pupils was stricken with a very serious attack of broncho-
pneumonia which unfortunately resulted fatally. In March we had four very bad cases
of pneumonia among the male pupils, but, thanks to the very excellent nursing and kind
attention bestowed upon the patients by those appointed for the purpose, all recovered.
During the following months rotheln, popularly known German measles, was very
prevalent, there being forty cases in all, twenty-six males and fourteen females. There
was a widespread epidemic of this disease in this city at the same time.
The sanitary condition of the Institution has received some attention, and I under-
stand that constant improvements have been made, until now it is about as near perfect
as our present knowledge of science can make it.
It is with extreme sorrow that I have to record the death of Dr. W. C. Corson, who
for so many years occupied the position of Physician to the Institution. A quiet, unosten-
tatious manner and kindly disposition enabled him to occupy a warm place in the hearts
of all those with whom his daily life brought him in contact, and nowhere was this more
apparent than at the Institution. He suffered a long and tedious illness, but he bore it
with great patience and was cheerful and happy even to the end.
Before closing this very imperfect report I must express my appreciation of the very
great kindness at all times extended towards me by the Principal and all the officers.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
L. SEOORD, M.D.,
Acting Physician.

Office of the
Inspector of Prisons and Public Charities,

Toronto, December, 1888.
To tJie Honourable Sir Alexander Campbell, K.C.M.G.,
Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario.
May it Please Your Honour : —
I beg to submit herewith the Nineteenth Annual Report upon the Hospitals
of Ontario, being for the official year ending 30th September, 1888.
I have the honour to be,
Your Honour's most obedient servant,

HOSPITALS.
The number of Hospitals receiving aid from the Province remains the same
as at the time of writing my previous report, namely sixteen I have heard
however, of steps being taken to establish two or three additional hospitals, one,
being in one of the northern ports, and another in a district which, at present,
is badly situated as regards hospital accommodation.
The following comparative statement shews the numbers treated in 'all the
hospitals in each of the past eleven years, with the increase or decrease in each
successive year as the case may be : —

It will be seen that during 1888, 770 more patients were treated in the-
hospitals than in 1888, the total number being 8,292. The increase in the num-
ber of patients is not confined to one or two hospitals, as the returns shew that
with the exception of three, each of the hospitals had more persons under treat-
ment than in 1887. The three exceptions are, the City Hospital, Hamilton, with
a decrease of 10 ; the General Hospital, London, with a decrease of 70; and the
St. Catharines Hospital with a decrease of 1 '1.
Table No. IV. -hews that the collective stay of the patients in 1888 was
equal to 254,216 days, as against 242,410 in 1887, an increase not proportionate
to the larger number of patients, as the average stay per patient dropped from
32.25 <lay> to 30.65 days.
Tables VI. and VII. shew the manner in which the :. mounts the Legislature
will be asked to vote as grants to the Hospitals, are made up. The following
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 5). A. 1889
statement is a summary of the totals of these tables, and shews the sums which
will be asked for each hospital, as well as the total.
General Hospital, Toronto $22,832 44
City Hospital, Hamilton 6,486 90
General Hospital, Kingston 4,318 95
Hotel Dieu, Kingston 2,251 22
General Protestant Hospital, Ottawa 4,504 90
Roman Catholic Hospital, Ottawa 5,566 23
House of Mercy Lying-in Hospital, Ottawa 1,914 82
General Hospital, London 4,918 57
General and Marine Hospital, St. Catharines 1,949 47
General Hospital, Guelph 3,048 42
St. Joseph's Hospital, Guelph 2,323 54
General Hospital, Pembroke 1,053 30
General Hospital, Mattawa 1,231 20
J. H. Stratford Hospital, Brantford 2,3 1 9 81
St. Joseph's Hospital, Port Arthur 1,231 75
Belleville Hospital, Belleville 1,065 18
Total $67,010 70
The amount asked for in 1887 was $63,674.58 or $3,342.12 less than the
above.
In Tables VIII., IX. and X. will be found details of the cost of maintaining
the various hospitals. The daily cost per inmate in 1888 rose to 68.45 cents per
day, being the highest rate for ten years.
The proportion of the Government grant to the total maintenance expen-
diture, as shewn in Table XI. remains the same as in 1887.
The tables numbered I. to XI. will be found in the following pages, and
following them are the separate reports upon each of the hospitals : —

Inspections.
Copies of Mr. Christie's reports to the Government upon this Hospital are
annexed : —
" I made an inspection of the General Hospital, Toronto, on the 9th of March.
The number of patients registered on that day was 266, namely, adults, 150 males
and 109 females; infants, 4 males and 3 females. On a subsequent visit to the
Hospital on the 14th of the same month, the patients numbered 259, distributed
as follows : In the general wards 136 males, 87 females ; in the Eye and Ear
Infirmary, 16 males, 2 females ; in the Burnside Lying-in branch, 11 females and
7 infants. This number is an increase of 36 as compared with the corresponding
date of last year.
" The record shewed 441 indoor patients under treatment during the past
month, not including 15 births in the Burnside branch. The mortality amongst
this number was only 13, and these included a number of cases brought to the
hospital in a dying condition. During the same period, 571 persons received
advice, medicine and treatment gratis.
" The hospital was in good order. New laundry appliances are being added
in the shape of two steam washing machines said to be of a superior construction.
Other modern improvements are also being adopted, such as a steam disinfecting
tub and fumigating room. These will no doubt render efficient service in the
hospital sanitary arrangement-.
" I noticed that since my last visit, a great number of the latest appliances
and improvements have been introduced with a view to the comfort and
successful treatment of the patients, and vigilant care and judgment appear to be
fully d in the daily routine of the institution.
" The total number of available beds for all purposes in all the departments
of the hospital is now 320, which is an increase of 40. These have been added
by removing the nurses from their old quarters in the main building to the new
building provided for them."
"A second inspection of the Toronto General Hospital was' made by me on
the 28th of September. On the day of my visit there were 229 patients under
treatment in the different wards, namely : — In the General Hospital, 118 males,
77 females; in the Eye and Ear Infirmary, 19 males and 6 females; in the Burn-
side Lying-in branch, 9 females and 1 infant.
" An examination of the register shews the record of the stay of the patients
under treatment to be satisfactory, only one having been in residence for more
than twelve months, nine for a period of five months, thirty for three months,
and the remaining number for less periods.
" A number of structural improvements and renovations continue to be made
from time to time, where deemed conducive to the general efficiency or sanitary

" This hospital continues to be very well conducted, but in some respects it

appears that things are allowed to fall into disrepair. This is notably the case
with some of the sinks and baths, while others were in good order and condition,,
shewing that it is rather due to carelessness than to any other reason or enforced
economy. There is need for improvement in this respect.
" The heating of this building is done with one boiler, and should any acci-
dent occur by which it would be thrown out of use for a length of time in
winter, the consequences would be serious. No institution of this kind should be
dependent upon such slender resources. Some of the floors also need attention.
" The hospital, generally, however, continues to be well managed, and is
doing its work satisfactorily."
" A second inspection of the Hamilton Hospital was made by me on the
25th October. The patients numbered 6Q, namely, 29 males, 32 females and 5
children.
" The wards were looking brighter, cleaner and more cheerful than at the
time of my last inspection. Some work had been done in the way of painting-
and cleaning, and the result was very satisfactory."

Inspection.
Instructions were given by Mr. Christie to Mr. Hayes to inspect this Hos-
pital. A copy of his report is annexed : —
"As instructed by you, I made an inspection of the General Hospital, Kings-
ton, on the 6th June. The patients then numbered 4S, of whom four were infants.
All these persons were under active treatment, many of them being in the surgical
ward. Two cases of diphtheria were being treated in an isolated room.
" The building was in excellent order throughout and many improvements
have been made in it of late. A new bath-room has been put in upstairs and the
lecture-room has been re-arranged. It would be a good thing were the " Tait "
bedstead to be provided for all the wards.
" The training school for nurses is reported to be a great success. Nine nurses
were under training at the time of my visit and the first two graduates were sent
out a few days before.
" The management of the hospital is now on a different basis to formerly. A
resident medical superintendent has been appointed and he is responsible to the
Board of Directors for the efficiency of the hospital in all departments. The new
system seems to be working well. By-laws setting it forth have been prepared
and are now waiting approval by Order in Council.
" The admissions to the hospital during the current year number 359, as
against 335 during the previous corresponding period. About 40 out-patients per
week are treated."
A copy of the report made to the Government by Mr. Christie upon this
hospital is annexed : —
" I made an inspection of the General Hospital, Kingston, on the 2nd August.
On that day there were 41 patients in residence, of whom four were in the lying-
in ward, 12 in the surgical ward, 9 in the private wards, and 16 in the general
wards.
" I found the hospital officials to be actively engaged in the routine work
of the institution and the patients were evidently receiving good attention.
" Various internal improvements are in progress and the structural re-arrange-
ments which have been completed within the past two years have added greatly
to the convenience and sanitary condition of the building. In order to continue
and extend the work of improvement, attention should also be given to the cover-
ino" up of the drain immediately west of the building. This drain is said to be
the outlet of a sewer, which serves a considerable section of the city, and in warm
weather especially must prove injurious to the patients, only thirty or forty feet
distant from the opening.
" The staff of nurses are reported to be attentive to their duties and the
school to be in a prosperous condition.
" I found the records well kept and in good order."

Instructious were given by Mr. Christie, to Mr. Hayes, to inspect this
hospital. A copy of his report is annexed : —
"As instructed by you, I visited the Hotel Dieu Hospital, Kingston, on the
6th of June. There were then 9 males and 13 females under treatment, all of
whom appeared to be receiving good and kindly attention.
" The hospital was in good order, and there was nothing connected with its
management or condition which requires special comment.
" The books are properly kept."
A copy of the report made by Mr. Christie to the Government is annexed : —
" I inspected the Hotel Dieu Hospital, Kingston, on the 1st of August, when
the names of 15 males and ]4 females were registered as patients. The record

Copies of the reports made to the Government upon this hospital, by Mr.
Christie, are annexed : —
"I made an inspection of the General Hospital, Ottawa, on the 20th June.
The patients in residence numbered 37, 22 males, 15 females. There were 5
diphtheretic patients in an isolated building, adjacent to the hospital. The num-
ber of path-nts treated since the date of my last visit is not in excess of the usual
number. Seventy— even cases of typhoid lever have, hovever, been admitted
since the 1st August last, owing to the prevalence of an epidemic in the city,
but it is to b( led, under ordinary circumstances, the admissions would not
have been equal to those of the previous year.
" Such of the wards as could be occupied, were in perfect order, but on the
6th June the main building suffered severely from the great storm which visited
that section of the country. The gable of the west wing was struck by lightning
and set on tire, and the roof of that part the building was entirely destroyed.
There were 44 patients in the building at the time of this occurrence, and all of
the females in the upper ward had to be removed and distributed over the other
wards. It is surprising how prompt and effective were the measures taken for
extinguishing the flames, and also that no injury resulted to the patients from
nervous prostration or other cause, during the excitement and disturbance created
by the casualty. It was stated that settlement had been effected with the insur-
ance companies, and that the damage to the' building would be immediately
repaired and the institution improved throughout. Much credit is due to the
officials in charge for their activity in caring for the paitents under such circum-
stances. But for the prompt assistance given by the city tire brigade the build-
ing would have been entirely destroyed."
" I made an inspection of the General Hospital, Ottawa, on the 3rd October,
and saw the 3G patients (20 males, 16 females), then under treatment. The
treatment and care given to them appeared to be correct and satisfactory. I found
the old hospital building, now kept for isolated patients, to be empty, there being
no case of contageous disease requiring treatment. Since the date of my last
visit the general repairs to the building and the restoration from the effects of
the late storm, have been in progress, and are nearly completed.
' The refitting and in many cases renewal of the worn out plumbing, will
add to the sanitary condition of the hospital. Some plumbing and painting are
still being done, which creates the usual disorder, otherwise the hospital was
found to be in a neat and tidy state, and the large wards which are furnished
present a very clean and healthful appearance.

Copies of the reports made to the Government by Mr. Christie upon this
hospital are annexed : —
" The Roman Catholic Hospital, Ottawa, was inspected by me on the 30th
June. There were under treatment on that day 41 patients, viz., 16 males and 15
females. The usual excellent supervision and order prevailed.
" On referring to the records I found that the number of patients received
during the present year was about 100 in excess of the corresponding period of
last year. This increase is largely due to the prevalence 'of typhoid fever in the
city during the months of November and December last, during which period an
unusual number of patients were received. As many as 70 were under treatment
at one time, and from the record of recoveries, the hospital authorities are to be
congratulated upon the success attending their efforts."
" On the 3rd October I made another inspection of the Roman Catholic
Hospital, Ottawa, and found the number of patients under treatment to be 39,
viz., 18 males and 21 females.
" The hospital throughout was in its usual condition of good order, and
evidences of proper management abounded.

" By referring to the records I found that 736 patients were under treatment
during the year just closed, and that 009 were registered during the former year
shewing an increase of 127 during the year ending 30th September. This increase
is largely due to the epidemic of typhoid fever which prevailed in Ottawa during
the winter months.
" The books were in good order and properly kept."

"I inspected the General Hospital, London, on the 31st July. There were
hen 38 patients under treatment, namely 15 males, 19 females, and 4 children.
" I was pleased to be able to note considerable improvement in the institution
since the last inspection and have reason to believe that now it is emancipated
from the domain of ' parish politics ' and is governed by a body of independent
trustees, still further improvements in its management will follow."
" A second inspection of the London Hospital was made by me on the 9th
October. The number of inmates was 49, viz., 26 males, 20 females, and 3
children. The institution continues to improve in its general condition. The
wisdom of placing it in the hands of trustees has been abundantly demonstrated.
" I found everything in as good condition as the present facilities at the dis-
posal of the Board will admit of."

" The General Hospital, St. Catharines, was inspected by me on the 10th
April.
" There were on that day 14 males, 4 females and 4 children under treatment.
" A thorough inspection of the hospital and all connected with it, shewed
everything to be in good order and keeping."
" I made an inspection of the General and Marine Hospital, St. Catharines,
on the 17th October.
"The patients numbered 12 at the time of my visit, namely: 4 males, 7
females and 1 child.
" The chief subject of remark on this occasion was the very small number of
patients in the hospital. Everything about the institution was in excellent order.'

" I made an inspection of the General Hospital, Guelph, on the 9th August.
The number of patients then in residence was 43, viz., 25 males, 18 females.
"The appointment of a thoroughly trained and competent lady as matron
and superintendent of this institution has produced good results. I never saw it
in as satisfactory condition in all respects as it was on this occasion.
" The new wing recently erected, containing several private wards, and a
fever ward isolated from the rest of the building by a solid wall, adds very
materially to the satisfactory working and efficiency of the Hospital. It is, on
the whole, an excellent institution and a credit to the City of Guelph."
" I inspected the General Hospital, Guelph, on the 30th October. There
were 32 patients in the institution on that date, namely, 16 men, 13 women, and
3 children. Both in respect of the building, and in its organization and manage-
ment, this Hospital is now in a most satisfactory condition. I found everything
working smoothly and well."

" I inspected the St. Joseph's Hospital, Guelph, on the 30th October, when
it contained 27 patients, 10 men and 17 women.
" The Hospital was in a most satisfactory condition, considering the disad-
vantages under which the management labour from the inferior character of
their building, and its unsuitability to Hospital purposes. The management is
all that could be desired, and under more favourable conditions would no doubt
insure a perfect institution."

Hospital are annexed : —
"I visi-te 1 the Belleville Hospital on the 3rd May, and saw the 14 pitieuts
hen under treatment, namely 5 males and 9 females. The records shew that
55 patients have been treated during the present year.
" One or two of the apartments were undergoing spring cleaning. The
other portions of the institution were in excellent order. Since my last visit some
of the rooms intended to be used as private wards have been suitably and hand-
somely furnished, the credit for which is due to the liberality of individual citizens.
The waterworks company also have supplied the hospital with water free of
charge. This has added greatly to the comfort and efficiency of the institution."
" I made a second inspection of the Belleville Hospital on the 17th July and
saw the 14 patients then unier treatment, vi;:, 5 males, 8 females, and 1 infant.
" The books and records were well kept, and the building throughout was
neat, clean and in good order. Matting has been supplied in all the lower cor-
ridors, and is a great improvement, and together with the painting which has
been lately done, add much to the comfort and appearance of the institution.
" The grounds have also received attention since the date of my last visit,
and now have a very presentable appearance."

The average attendance of rural pupils was 46 percent, of the registered attendance,
while in towns it was 60 per cent, and in cities 62 per cent. The County of Oxford
furnishes the highest average — 56 per cent. — for the rural districts ; the town of Listowel
furnishes the highest average — viz., 72 per cent. — for the towns ; and the City of
Hamilton the highest average — viz., 67 per cent. — for the cities. The other extremes
are reached by the Districts with 36 per cent., Penetanguishene 42 per cent., and Brant-
ford 56 per cent. The average for the Province as a whole is 50 per cent., an increase
of one per cent, over last year. The divisor used to ascertain this average attendance
is, in all cases, the legal number of teaching days.

Compulsory Attendance.
In previous reports I have called attention to the power conferred by section 209
of the Public Schools Act upon trustees to compel the attendance at school of children
between 7 and 13 years of age, for a period of at least 100 days each year. From the
foregoing table it is quite evident that these compulsory powers are not exercised. In
1882 the number of absentees between the ages named was 87,444; in 1887 they
numbered 89,628. From a more detaibd examination of the returns for 1887 it will be
seen that 79,286 of these were from counties or rural districts having a gross registered
attendance of 367,284. That is to say, 22 per cent, of the rural school population
attended school less than 100 days in the year. In towns the absentees '•umbered 7,960
out of a registered attendance of 59,696, or about 13 per cent. ; in cities they numbered
2,382 out of a registered attendance of 66,232, or about three and one-half per cent.

increase to the teaching staff of the country, the cost per pupil has but slightly increased
in eleven years. In 1887 it was 50 cents per pupil more than in 1886. The average
cost per pupil on the number enrolled in 1887, for counties was $6.82 ; for cities, 812.01 ;
and for towns, 87.40, or an average of 87.59 for the Province. In 1877 the average cost
was, for counties, 86.01 ; for cities, $7.52 ; for town, $6.51, or an average of $6.26 for

52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
For eight years the number of High Schools stood at 104 ; in 1884 there was an
increase of 2, now they number 112. Collegiate Institutes have advanced to 23 in 1887.
The most gratifying feature, however, of our High School system, is the large increase in
the attendance, the number having nearly doubled in eleven years. Having regard to the
number and standing of the teachers employed now as compared with 1877, it is worthy
of note that the cost per pupil, taking expenditure of all kinds into consideration, is mueh
less than it was eleven years ago. If we make the test the amount paid for teachers'
salaries, which is the main item of expense, it will be found that in 1877 the cost per
pupil was §22.92 ; in 1887 it was 818.75 per pupil. The High Schools are classified as
follows : — Schools with two masters, 44 ; Schools with three masters or over, 68 ;
Collegiate Institutes, 23. The largest Collegiate Institute is Toronto, with an enrolment
of 655 ; then London, with 494 ; Hamilton, with 430 ; Owen Sound, with 354. There
is an average of over 6 teachers in each of the Collegiate Institutes ; the average number
of pupils to each High School teacher in the Province is 44. From table G it will 1 e
seen that fees amounting to 856,198 are charged in 58 High Schools. In 1877, the fees
collected amounted to only 820,753 in 31 schools. In 1887, 888 pupils were preparing
for matriculation, 791 for the learned professions, such as law and medicine, and 6,224
for teachers' examinations. In 1876, only 3,621 pupils, or 40 per cent, of the whole
number studied commercial subjects, such as book-keeping ; in 1887 this subject was
taken by 14,064, or 82 per cent, of the whole attendance. On the other hand, Latin, in
1877, was studied by 4,955, or by 50 per cent. ; in 1S87, the number of pupils in Latin
was 5,409, or only a trifle over 30 per cent, of the number in attendance. The number
studying Greek has diminished from about 10 per cent, of the whole attendance to 6 per
cent. In French and German the numbers are relatively the same. There has been a
large increase in the number studying Drawing, the total in 1877 being 2,755, and in
1887, 14,295. Phonography is taught in 10 schools to 317 pupils, the largest class (152
pupils) being in Toronto, and the next largest (45) in Lindsay. Music is taught
in 22 schools, and senior matriculation work to 56 pupils in 18 schools. The total
number of pupils who passed a University matriculation examination was 305. Of
these, the Toronto Collegiate Institute passed the highest number (17), and Cobourg
the next highest number (13). The highest salary paid a head master was 82,350
(Toronto C. I.). The average salary of headmasters for the Province was $1,129. Of
the headmasters, 70 were graduates of Toronto University, 19 of Victoria, 9 of Queen's,
6 of Trinity, 2 of Albert, and 4 of British Universities. The whole number of teachers
employed was 398.
3. — Entrance Examinations.
In 1877, the first year in which the Department took the Entrance Examinations in
charge, the number passed was 3,270 ; in 1887 it was 6,788. In 1877, only 6,248 wrote
for entrance to the High Schools ; in 1887 the number had risen to 16,248. The papers
for this examination are sent out by the Department. Last year 244,000 papers were
required.

VIII.— ARBOR DAY.
The efforts made by the Department to secure the planting of shade trees and the
cultivation of flowers in the school grounds, were heartily supported by teachers and
trustees. Arbor Day has now become one of the most interesting and profitable holidays
of the year. In 1885, 38,940 ; in 1886, 34,087 ; and in 1887, 28,057 trees were planted-
In a very few years every rural school in the Province will have its pleasant shady bower
where the pupils can find shelter from the scorching sun during the summer months,
and where their taste for the beautiful in nature will find some gratification.
I have the honor to be,
Your Honor's obedient servant,

.;. CIRCULARS FROM THE MINISTER.
Examination in Drawing.
Your attention is dir< cted to the coming annual examination in Drawing, and the
following extracts from the Acts and Regulations respecting the promotion of Industrial
Art Education in this Province.
1. Ary college or school may, with the consent of the Education Department, take
the Departmental Examinations.
50
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
2. The Education Department will accept a primary certificate in lieu of the non-
professional examination in Drawing i'or any class or grade of public school teacher's
certificate.
3. The holder of an Art Certificate will be legally qualified to teach the subjects
named therein in any Art School, High School, Model School, or Mechanics' Institute.
At the last annual examination in Drawing, pupils from the following High Schools
and Collegiate Institutes were awarded over two thousand Proficiency Certificates in Free-
hand Drawing, Practical Geometry, Linear Perspective,' Model Drawing and Memory or
Blackboard Drawing; also, forty-Jive Teachers Certificates (full course): — Aylmer, Barrie,
Berlin, Brantford, Belleville, Brockville, Carleton Place, Collingwood, Fergus, Hawkes-
bury, Kemptville, Lindsay, Morrisburg, Mount Forest, Niagara Falls, S., Owen Sound,
Orangeville, Port Dover, Perth, Parkhill, St. Thomas, Strathroy, St. Marys, Stratford,
Seaforth, Tilsonburg, Woodstock, Whitby.
Notwithstanding the large number of certificates granted to Art Schools, Mechanics'
Institutes, High Schools, etc., there is still a great demand for teachers to take charge of
Drawing Classes in Mechanics' Institutes, etc. I refer to this not only as a means of
increasing the incomes of teachers, but to show that teachers, by employing some of their
spare time in this way can benefit those engaged in the various trades and manufactures,
and thus assist in increasing the commercial wealth of the country.
The next annual examination will be held on the 26th, 27th and 28th days of
April. Blank forms of application will be ready at the Department on the 15th of
March ; these forms are sent free of expense, and must be filled in and returned to the
Department not later than the 2nd of April. The examination papers are sent from the
Education Department free, and the only expense to schools holding the examinations is
the payment of a Presiding Examiner appointed by the Minister.
Toronto, February, 1888.
Apportionment of Legislative Public School Grant for 1888.
The apportionment of the Grant to the several Municipalities is based upon the latest
Returns of Population for the year 1887, and the division between the Public and
Separate Schools on the average attendance of that year, as reported by the Inspectors,
Public School Boards, and Separate School Trustees respectively.
While the Separate Schools will receive their portion of the Grant direct from the
Department, that of the Public Schools will be paid, according to this Schedule, through
the respective County, City, Town, and Village Treasurers.
The County Councils — whose duty it is to raise from the several Townships in their
Counties a sum at least equal to the amounts respectively apportioned to each County —
are reminded that all the supporters of Roman Catholic Separate Schools are exempt from
any rate to be levied for this purpose.

Toronto, August, 18S8.
Note.— The books of reference in the above Syllabus are those recommended in the curriculum of
Toronto University.
To Head Masters of High Schools and Collegiate Institutes.
According to paragraph five of the Regulations respecting authorized text books for
use in Public and High Schools, (circular 14) it is provided that " all text books pre-
scribed or required for senior matriculation or for the examinations for the first year in
any of the Universities of Ontario may be used in such forms as take up senior matri-
culation work." As the senior and junior matriculation classes are generally combined,
the same text books are usually necessary. The Department, therefore, desires it to be
understood that the liberty allowed by said paragraph in the case of text books required
for senior matriculation shall hereafter be allowed for junior matriculation with honors.
The rule as to the use of unauthorized text books in every other subject, class, and form,
shall remain as at present.
In order that all reasonable facility should be granted to deserving pupils to proceed
with the course prescribed for second class certificates, head masters may allow those
who obtained an aggregate of 600 marks at the recent examination on third class work,
(even if they failed in the minimum marks required in each subject) to proceed with the
work prescribed for a second class certificate.
All candidates who wrote for second class and failed, may go on with their second
class course.
Toronto, August 25th, 1888.
Mechanics' Institute Regulations.
Sir, — Your attention is directed to the departmental regulations respecting
Mechanics' Institutes.
I. — Conditions on which the Government Grant is paid.
All grants are made subject to the regulations of the Education Department, and
each Mechanics' Institute is paid according to the work done, or money expended during
the financial year immediately preceding the grant, therefore books, newspapers, peri-
odicals, etc., must be purchased so as to be in use not later than the first day of April ;
and all invoices must be paid before the thirtieth day of April in each year, otherwise
the grant for Library and Reading Room will not be allowed until the following year.
76
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
II. — Amount of Government Grant.
(1) Membership. — Institutes with fifty members subscribing $25 will receive 625
annually, and Institutes with one hundred members subscribing 850 will receive §50
annually. Institutes with less than fifty members are not entitled to any Government
grant.
(2) Library. — Institutes with not less than fifty members will receive the sum of
§1 for every dollar expended on books in accordance with above conditions, but so as not
to exceed the sum of $150 for library purposes, provided that not more than 20 per
cent, thereof be expended for works of fiction.
(3) Heading Room. — In order to obtain the grant every Reading Room must be
conveniently situated, properly warmed and lighted, furnished with suitable racks and
paper files, and with chairs for every alternate ten persons. It must be opened regularly
to the members at least three hours every alternate week day, and supplied with at
least two daily papers, five weeklies and three standard monthly magazines. The grant
for Reading Rooms is paid on the same conditions as for libraries, but so as not to
exceed the sum of $50.
(4) Evening Classes. — Evening classes are intended to provide technical instruction
for adults who were denied early educational advantages, and also for those who desire
to pursue an advanced course of study in subjects not within the Public School pro-
gramme. The legislative grant for evening classes is as follows : Every institute with
not less than fifty members having twenty-five pupils or under, who are not attending
school (non-resident pupils attending a Model or High School are allowed for in the
Drawing Course) is entitled to the sum of $3 for every pupil over fifteen years of
age who attends at least twenty lessons in either of the prescribed courses, and 81 for
every additional pupil, but so as not to exceed 8100 in all for Evening Classes. The
programme of studies for Evening Classes consists of four courses, viz :
English Course. — English and Canadian History, Composition and Grammar.
Commercial Course. — Book-keeping, Arithmetic and Writing.
Drawing Course. — Primary, Advanced and Mechanical Drawing.
Seience Course. — Botany, Physiology and Sanitary Science.
As Drawing is considered to be the basis of industrial education, Mechanics' Insti-
tutes having Drawing Classes are placed on the same footing as Provincial Art Schools.
The pupils attending Mechanics' Institutes may compete at the annual examination in
Drawing, held at the end of April, and the sum of 81 will be paid to the Institute for
every pupil taking one certificate, or 82 for two or more certificates. They may also
compete for the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medals.
The advantages to pupils who possess the official certificates in Drawing cannot be
over estimated. Employers of labor consider them as an evidence of industry, sobriety
and general intelligence, and the holders are thus enabled to obtain more permanent and
lucrative employment.
III. — Annual Meeting, etc.
The annual meeting should be held on the first Monday of May of each year, and
the annual report and invoices of booksellers, etc., sent to this Department not later than
the tenth day of May. The works of fiction must be entered on separate invoices, and
all invoices must give the titles of the books purchased.
The books in the Library must be properly numbered and placed in order on suitable
shelves.
A satisfactory record according to the regulations of the Education Department
must be kept of all books given out and returned ; Library stock catalogues and roll and
record books (price 81.50 each) can be obtained from the printers to the Ontario Govern-
ment, Messrs. Warwick & Sons, Front street west, Toronto.

Toronto, December, 1888.
Practical Science.
Sir, — I purpose submitting to the Legislative Assembly at its next Session, a scheme
for establishing, in the School of Practical Science, full courses of instruction in Applied
Chemistry, Applied Mechanics and Architecture.
While, in the interests of the industrial classes, it is necessary that the course of in-
struction should be thoroughly practical, and at the same time educational, it is also neces-
sary that the special wants of the industries of the country should be kept in view. It
occured to me, therefore, if I only could consult those employing skilled labor of various
kinds, that I should be able to provide this special training with more certainty and satis-
faction to both manufacturer and artisan.

I have accordingly decided to invite a number of manufacturers, skilled mechanics
and others having interests of a similar character, to meet me at the Education Depart-
ment on Wednesday, the 19th instant, at 2.30 p.m., in order that I may ascertain, if
possible, on what particular lines, instruction such I have above indicated, could be made
most useful.
The attention of the meeting will be mainly directed (1) To a consideration of the
various kinds of skilled labor now requind to carry on the industries of the country
and the best means of rendering it more productive and ther?fore more valuable; (2) To
a consideration of what courses of instruction would be necessary to provide such skilled
labor at home as is now supplied from abroad, and (3) To enquire what industries (if
any) not yet established in Ouoario could be made productive, provided we could supply
them'with skilled labor.
I shall be gratitlo 1 if you can make it convenient to attend at the time above-men-
tioned and aid with your counsel and experience.

APPENDIX E.— TEACHERS' INSTITUTES.
I. Ontario Teachers' Association.
Extracts from the Proceedings of Convention held on the 14th, 15th and 16th days of
August, 1888.
The Convention met on Tuesday, August 14th, 1888.
The President, Mr. J. H. Smith, in the chair.
Resolutions Adopted.
Resolved, — That the Secretary of the Association be instructed to acknowledge the
receipt of the communication of the Toronto Ministerial Association, and direct the atten-
tion of that reverend body to the resolution of last and other years anent the subject of
religious instruction and Scripture reading in the schools of the country, as indicating
fairly the views of this Association.
Resolved, — That in view of the rapid advance in this Province of the Tonic Sol-fa
system of vocal music — there being not less than 30,000 pupils taught daily by this
method — this Association holds the opinion that the Tonic Sol-fa should be placed on the
same basis in our Public and High Schools as the Staff Notation, and would recommend
that a Tonic Sol-fa reader, or series of readers, be authorized at an early date by the
Education Department.
Report of Committee on the Professional Training of Teachers.
Deficiencies which need to be remedied in the training of teachers : —
1. Their training secures them little or no experience in the work of ungraded schools.
2. They have little or no training and experience in actual governing and classifying.
3. The non-professional training is not now given, as a rule, with a view to qualify-
ing for professional work.
4. The age now required for teachers entering the profession does not guarantee suf-
ficient maturity for its responsibilities.
5. The low percentage now required to pass in the non-professional examination
does not protect against the immaturity of judgment and character any more than against
imperfect knowledge.
6. Different standards in the professional examination in different counties interfere
seriously with the general efficiency of teachers.
7. The work of Normal Schools is not now sufficiently confined to professional train-
ing, and especially to practice in teaching.
8. The training of High School Assistants is not now extended over sufficient time
to admit of adequate drill in the theory and practice of teaching.
Remedies suggested : —
1. (a) Require all Model School students, after a session at a Model School, to serve
for a year as pupil teachers under first or second-class teachers, and thereafter to pass-
their professional examination.
lb) During this year of service, require a course of reading and study, and, at its
close, an examination in subjects on which the Model School Master reports defective
knowledge.
(c) To induce trustees to employ normal-trained teachers and pupil teachers as-
assistants, there should be a special grant of say $50 per annum, either from a special
84
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
fund provided by the Government or out of the Legislative grant, for every normal-
trained teacher employed ; and say £25 for employing an undergraduate of a county model
school as an assistant.
(d~) The age before admission to the Model Schools should be ; of females, 17 years,
and uf males, 18 years.
(e) Pupil teachers should be required to attend the Teachers' Institutes and Conven-
tions of their county.
2. A decidedly higher percentage for passing the now professional examination should
be required in Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, English Grammar, Literature and Com-
position.
3. Unless a Central Board of Examiners to read the professional papers of Third
Class Candidates be provided, the certificates granted in any county should be valid in
that county only, unless endorsed by the Inspector of another county for some school in
his county.
4. The time now devoted in the Normal Schools to non-professional work should be
employed in practical teaching in both the Provincial Model Schools, and in city and
rural schools to which access is practicable,
5. Until lectures on Pedagogics, accompanied with practical work, are delivered in
University College, the professional training of High School Assistants should be extended
over at least a year.
6. Only teachers of thorough professional training and lengthened experience should
be employed in Model Schools.
7. If arrangements could be made by which the Normal School Masters should con-
duct Institutes and Conventions throughout the Province, much would be accomplished
towards bringing the whole educational system into harmonious working by placing more
recent normal methods before the profession.
Report of Committee on Representation.
1. That the principle of Representation be affirmed.
2. That each Local Association be entitled to send one Delegate for every fifty mem-
bers or fraction thereof to this Association.
3. That any five Delegates may demand a strictly delegate vote upon any question
that has been submitted by the Executive of this Association to the Local Associations.
And that this report be sent down to the Local Associations for consideration.
Public School Section.
Resolved, — That no candidate be allowed to attend a County Model School till he
has passed the non-professional examination for a second class certificate.
Resolved, — That the training of candidates for third class certificates be extended to
one year.
Resolved, — That the students-in-training before the close of the Model School term
shall have attained (males) to the age of 21 years, and (females) to the age of 20 years.
High School Section.
Resolved, — That this Section request the Law Society to give up holding the pre-
liminary examination by its own examiners ; and to insist, in every case, on a certificate
of having matriculated in arts in some University in Ontario or Great Britain and
Ireland.
Resolved, — That it is desirable that the practice of the University Senate in pre-
scribing texts several years in advance should be followed by the Department in regard to
texts to be used for teachers' examinations, so far as these are not already dependent
upon the University list.
85
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
Resolved, — That, in the opinion of the High School Masters of Ontario, the declaration
regarding the use of authorized text books in High Schools, now required to be signed by
principals and trustees, is unnecessary.
Resolved, — That whilst we recognize the necessity of prescribing a list of books,
authorized for use in Forms I. and II. of High Schools and Collegiate Institutes, in the
opinion of this Section the choice of the books to be used in the higher work — viz., for
Junior Matriculation, with Honors, and for Senior Matriculation (Pass and Honors)
— should be left to the choice of the principal and masters concerned.
Report of the Committee on the University Curriculum.
I. Classics. — (1) That the proportion of marks given at matriculation be divided as
follows : — One-third for prose, one-third for sight translation and grammar, one-third for
translation of prescribed work.
(2) That an easy pass paper in Greek grammar be set both in matriculation and at
the first year for those taking Greek ; at present Greek grammar is sadly neglected from
the fact that students are not required to pass in it.
(3) That easy sentences in Greek prose be exacted from all candidates, based on the
work read.
(4) That fewer authors and more of each be exacted in the pass course.
(5) That the Honor work for the first two years of the course be sight translation
from special authors. Such as Caesar, Virgil's iEneid, etc., in the first year for Latin, and
from Plato's simpler Dialogues, Lucian's Dialogues, etc., for Greek; in the second year
from Horace and Livy in Latin, and from Homer's Odyssey and Heroides in Greek.
(6) That sight passages be given in the pass course for matriculation in both Latin
and Greek, but that such sight passages shall be short sentences selected from the
authors read in such course.
(7) That examiners should have due regard to syntax in setting papers for Latin
and Greek grammar, and that they should avoid making such papers a collection of
exceptional examples in accidence.
(8) That the pass work in Greek should be confined to Xenophon (two books), and
that Greek grammar should be exacted from all candidates in Greek.
II. Mathematics. — No change recommended in the mathematical course.
III. History and Geography. — That ancient history and geography, English history
and modern geography be not crowded into one paper as at present, but divided into two
papers.
IV. Modern Languages. — (1) That the marks given for sight translation, prose and
prescribed work, be the same as those given for the classics.
(2) That the Honor work consist principally of sight translation, prose and
grammar.
(3) That sight work be given in the pass course, and the marks given for this count
equally in proportion with those given for prescribed work.
V. — (1) Science should have a greater value given to it at the matriculation exami-
nation.
(2) As chemistry is now compulsory for second class certificates, it should also be
compulsory for matriculation.
Report of Committee Appointed to Consider Desirable Changes in English in the
University Curriculum.
1. That wherever English is prescribed for pass, the critical reading of prose texts
for grammatical and rhetorical purposes form part of the work.
2. That at the Junior Matriculation and the First Examination only authors of the
nineteenth and the latter part of the eighteenth centuries be selected in both prose and
poetry.
3. That fewer authors be prescribed in each year, and that more be taken from each
author.
86
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A 1889
4. That Chaucer and the older texts, including Anglo-Saxon, be prescribed as part
of the Honor Work of the later years in order that intending teachers of English may
have opportunities of mastering the philology and historical grammar of the language
without memorizing from text-books.
5. That all students of University College and the University of Toronto be required
to take Pass English for the first three years of the course.
Resolved, — That in the opinion of this Section it is greatly to be regretted that
Examination papers of so retrograde and objectionable a character as the third class Latin
and French grammar papers should have been set at the recent examinations, and this
Section trusts that in future more careful supervision will be exercised in order to prevent
such papers being set.
Resolved, — That teachers skilled in teaching the several subjects in the High Schools
have the preference as examiners of the papers of candidates for the Departmental
Examinations.
Resoled, — That a Committee be appointed to press upon the notice of the Minister
of Education the views of this Section as expressed in the several resolutions passed by
the section.
Resolved, — That this Section place on record its disapproval of the practice of pub-
lishing comparative lists of successful candidates as necessarily indicative of the efficiency
of the schools, and that we as High School Masters employ our best endeavors to create
a better public opinion in regard to this matter.
Resolved, — That in the opinion of this Section the third class practical literature
paper set at the recent examinations was not only of too difficult a character in itself for
candidates of that grade, but was really harder than that set for second class candidates,
and that it is desirable that more care should be exercised in grading the difficult .• of the
papers in English Literature.
'red, — That the work in prescribed texts for Third and Second Class Teachers'
Examinations should be made to correspond in English prose and poetic literature, in
French and in German as is now the case in Latin.
Resolctd, — That natural science has at present sufficient prominence in the Depart-
mental Examinations, and that this Section request the Department to omit the require-
ment of zoology.
Resolved, — That in the opinion of this Section it is desirable that the High School
Entrance Examination at Christmas should be abolished.
Inspectors' Section.
Resoled, — That the report of the Committee appointed to urge upon the Minister of
Education the wisdom of holding the Entrance and Non -Professional Examinations at
different times be received : The Section learns with pleasure that the Minister agreed
with the views expressed by the Committee, but regrets that owing, no doubt, to circum-
stances of temporary force, the examinations were held this year simultaneously.
The Section reiterates its opinion that they should be held at different times. This
view is held for the following, among other reasons: — 1. When held simultaneously it is,
in many places, extremely difficult to get suitable and adequate accommodation for the
examinations. 2. If the High School Entrance Examination were held at an earlier date
than the Xon-Professional Examination, the answers of the candidates could be read and
the results announced at an earlier date than is now possible, and before the Inspectors
had to undertake other important duties. More especially is the plan adopted this year
extremely inconvenient to those who are members of the Subcommittee of Examiners.
Resolved, — That whereas the practice of placing more questions on the High School
Entrance Examination than are required to be answered is found extremely perplexing to
the inexperienced candidates who attend these examinations ; and whereas it is extremely
difficult, and perhaps in all subjects impossible, to make questions so that any one set of
options may be neither more or less difficult than any other set of options on the paper ;
therefore, this Section instructs its Secretary to lay before the Honorable the Minister of
Education its respectful request that the examination papers aforesaid should not contaiu
more questions than those that the candidates are expected to attempt.

(2) Extracts from Reports of Public School Inspectors.
County of Brant.
Extract from Report of M. J. Kelly, Esq., M.D., Inspector.
So far as the discipline and the general management of the schools of the county go,
there is nothing especially novel to report. The teachers are, I believe, as a whole doing
their work faithfully and well, and the order and prevailing tone are generally satisfac-
tory. During the past fifteen years there has been a considerable falling off in the attend-
ance at the rural schools, and a corresponding increase in the same in the schools of Paris and
Brantford. This is doubtless due to a gradual decline, in the interval mentioned, of the
rural and a gradual augmentation of the urban population of the county. The decline is
indeed observable in nearly all the old counties of the Province. According to the
Dominion census report of 18S1 the rural population of Brant numbered 18,189 and the
urban 12.789. The number enrolled in the rural schools in 1887 was 4,145, or nearly 23
104
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
per cent, of the whole population; in the urban schools it was 3,015, or about 23^ per
cent. There is not much difference in the average attendance. I find that the average
attendance in the Township of Oakland is slightly in excess of that of the Town of Paris.
One might naturally expect a different result, since the larger boys and girls who attend
the schools in the country during the winter months drop out early in the spring, which
is not the case, or at all events not to the same extent, in the cities and towns. Possibly
the existence of a High School, and the numerous factories in Paris, may account in part
at least, for the seeming contradiction. Of course the higher the average attendance, the
greater, as we know, will be the regularity. Ever since the schools of this Province were
placed under supervision, the most frequently reported obstacle to progress has been
irregularity of attendance. It has been the crying evil, and many are the remedies that
have been suggested for its removal. The most effectual one so far, however, has always
been found to be the employment of teachers, at once intelligent, kindly and enthusiastic
in their work. The teacher who loves knowledge and can inspire his pupils with that
love, needs not the aid of truant officers. But all are not Abelards or Arnolds — and since
this is the case, the law has placed in the hands of trustees the power of compulsory
attendance. In the rural parts of the county this clause of the Act is practically a dead
letter — sometimes talked about, but never, or if ever, rarely enforced. The following
shows the attendance of the several townships in the county and of the Town of Paris : —
/. Attendance. —
Registered. Average. Per cent.
Oakland 164 114 70
Onondaga 383 203 53
South Dumfries 795 417 53
Burford 1,448 628 44
Brantford 1,355 782 58
Paris 656 426 65
The attendance for the City of Brantford exactly corresponds with that of the Town-
ship of Brantford, and is therefore less regular, even with the aid of a truant officer, than
that of Paris or Oakland.
//. Finances. — The amount reported as received from the Government grant was
$2,131.00, or about $55 less than last year; from Municipal grant, .$25,262.69 ; from all
sources. |38,943.17. The amount expended was §32,733.48, leaving a balance on hand
of $6,209.69, or nearly §100 more than last year.
///. Tiddlers' Salaries, Certificates, etc. — The total amount paid in salaries was $24,-
"925.16, a decrease of $1,656.44. The highest salary paid any male teacher was $600, the
lowest $300, the average for the county $431. The average salary of female teachers was
$297. The number of teachers employed in the rural schools during the year was 69 — ■
33 of these had attended a Normal School — 4 held first-class provincial certificates, 36
second-class do — 28 third-class and 1 old County Board first-class. The number of rural
schools and departments in the county is 69. All these were opened during the year, an
average of 212 days.
IV. School Population, etc. — The reported school population of the county of a»es
between 5 and 21 years was 4,871 ; the number enrolled in the schools was 4,145 ; boys
2,237 ; girls 1,908. The total days of attendance the first half of the year were 270,242,
the average 2,146; for the second half year 203,220, average 2,139. The percentage of
average attendance to total number attending school is very nearly 52, which, except in
the case of Waterloo, is in advance of any other county in the Province, on the basis of
the figures of the last report of the Minister of Education.
I'. Classification, Studies, etc. — The number of pupils in the first form 1,265- in
second, 728 ; in third, 1,201 ; in fourth, 775 ; in tilth, 176. All were engaged in spelling,
writing, arithmetic, reading, drawing and geography ; in music 1,962 ; in <*ram-
mar and composition £,096; m English history 1,164; Canadian history 1,659-
object lessons 1,036; book-keeping 226; algebra 167; mensuration 282; euclid 133-
elementary physics 70. Most of these subjects are very well taught, and in some a

marked advance has been made of late, notably in drawing. Reading is the one subject in
which improvement is needed, and since the introduction of phonics has become so gen-
eral, there ought to be no difficulty in the matter. Lying, as it does, at the basis of all
education, it is entitled to more attention than any other subject. The older teachers
cultivate it, the younger as a rule neglect it. I fear the comparatively little attention
paid to the subject in the High Schools, is at the root of the evil. And in this connection
I mi»ht interject the remark that in my opinion it would be a blessing to the cause of
elementary education if the manufactories of teachers, the Normal Schools excepted, were
closed for a season, as the supply is now far in excess of the demand, and thus experi-
enced men and women would have a chance of remaining in the profession. 1 40 visits
were made by the Inspector during the year, and 223 by Trustees. 337 trees were planted
in the school grounds on Arbor day.
VI. County Model School. — This'school opened in September with an attendance of
20. The session lasted three months. The Departmental Inspector paid one visit, but
made no examination. At the close the candidates were submitted to a professional
examination in writing on paper, prepared by the Department and valued by the County
Board of Examiners. They were also examined in practical teaching by the Inspector of
Public Schools. All, except three, passed andreceived certificates. There are at present
40 duly qualified teachers in the county without schools.
VII. The Indian Schools on the Tuscarora Reserve. — These schools, 12 in number,
were inspected, at the request of the Indian Department, twice during the year, in June
and October and November. With three exceptions the school houses are satisfactory
and are fairly equipped. The school on the Oneida boundary, near Beaver's, has been
abandoned, and a new school house erected on the Council House line to accommodate
the south-eastern corner of the Eeservation. The building itself is a good one, painted
externally a light green, internally a drab color, and is well furnished. A wire fence
encloses the grounds and the closets are masked. The eight best school houses in Tusca-
rora, and the schools therein, are under the control of a Board of Trustees, consisting of
the local Indian Agent, the Superintendent of the Mohawk Institute as Secretary, the
missionary at Kenyengeh and some of the chiefs. They are well equipped and generally
well conducted. One is a Band School and the three others are under the control of the
Wesleyan Methodist Conference. The children exhibit a very fair degree of intelligence
and are making generally satisfactory progress.
VIII. Results of Entrance and Other Departmental Examinations. — The following
schools sent up successful candidates for the Midsummer Entrance Examination : — Cains-
ville P. S. 2, one, standing head of the list; No. 27 S. Dumfries 1 ; No. 25 Burford 2 ;
No. 9 Brantford 1 ; Scotland P. S. 4 ; No. 6 Brantford 2 ; Mount Vernon P. S. 2 ; No.
4 Brantford 1 ; No. 3 Burford 1 ; Tansley 1 ; Burford Village P. S. 4 ; Jerseyville P. S.
5 ; Oakland Village P. S. 1 ; No. 5 S. Dumfries 2 ; No. 8 Brantford 2 ; No. 1 Brantford
1 '■ No. 2 Burford 1 ; No. 23 Brantford 1 ; No. 1 Burford 2 ; Separate School 1 ; New-
port P. S. 1 ; No. 16 Brantford 1 ; Etonia P. S. 2 ; Onondaga village school 2. At the
Entrance Examination in December 68 wrote and 52 passed, an unusually large percent-
age. The following schools sent up successful candidates: — Mount Pleasant 1, who
headed the list ; Oakland Village school 2 ; Mount Vernon 2 ; No. 3 S. Dumfries 1 ; No.
6 Brantford 4 ; Cathcart P. S. 1 ; Kelvin P. S. 1 ; No. 1 Oakland 3 ; No. 9 Brantford 2 ;
No. 8 South Dumfries 1 ; No. 13 Brantford (Paris road), 2; No. 13 South Dumfries 1 ;
Wolverton P. S. 1 ; Mohawk Institute 1 ; No. 11 Burford, No. 12 Burford, No. 12 Brant-
ford, and No. 8 South Dumfries sent up each a successful third-class candidate. This is,
I consider, a respectable showing for the Public Schools of the county.
IX. Uniform Promotion Examinations. — These examinations, which have been in
vo<me here for many years, are still doing good and serviceable work. Copies of the
new school law and regulations have been sent to most of the Trustees.
X. School Accommodation and Equipment. — In the matter of accommodation and
equipment, although there are few, if any, counties in the Province in advance of Brant
in these particulars, still improvement is constantly going on.

City of Brantford.
The public schools of the City of Brantford pursue the even tenor of their way.
There is an excellent school library, and in other respects the equipment is fair. A
kindergarten school will be opened in the Central School building directly after the
summer holidays. The progress, order and management of the public schools of the city
are very satisfactory. The buildings and grounds, under the management of the com-
mittee for that purpose, are kept in excellent condition, and the latter are very attractive.
Three additional school rooms in theJCentral School will be open for the accommodation
of pupils on the resumption of work, the last Monday in August.
Tow m of Paris.
Of the 10 departments in the public school of the town of Paris, there is
little to report further than to say that they are progressing favorably. The attend-
ance is more than ordinarily regular. Thirty-two visits were made to the schools by tha
Public School Inspector during the year and 21 by the Trustees. Two promotion
examinations were held immediately before the midsummer and Christmas holidays
on papers prepared by the Inspector, the teachers examining and valuing the answers,
and the results were in every way satisfactory. At the two entrance examinations the
senior division did well. In order, methods of teaching, management, etc., the schools
of Paris take a foremost place, and the staff of teachers in charge would be hard to beat.
County of Carletox.
Extract from Report of A. Smirle, Esq., Inspector.
On the whole, I consider the schools of the county in a satisfactory condition.
During the four years I have been privileged to till the office of Inspector, my efforts
have been largely directed towards the improvement of school accommodation, and I am
pleased to be able to state that a very great advance in this respect has been made within
a comparatively short period. The log schoolhouse may be said to be a thing of the past
in the County of Carleton.
New schoolhouses have been completed within the past three years in twenty-two
sections. Besides these very many of the old buildings have been thoroughly over-
hauled, refurnished, and made almost as good as new. Many others have been supplied
with new desks, chairs, etc.
In view of these facts T can safely say that the last tour years have accom-
plished more by way of providing substantial and comfortable school buildings, than any-
previous ten years in the educational history of the county. This work has been under-
taken, generally, without compulsion.
I have also during my term of office given special attention to the teaching staff of
the county, with a view to securing a higher standard of qualification. I have not, how-
ever, found the people so ready to co-operate with me in this matter as in the building of
schoolhouses ; trustees have not yet learned to discriminate between the trained and the
untrained teacher. If the applicant's services are available, or can by legal process be
made available, this, in many sections, is all that is looked for, provided terms be
sufficiently low. In the rural districts the ratepayers are not as yet in full sympathy
with " modern methods ". They are slow to abandon old ideas, many of them retaining
a vivid impression of how " the village master taught his little school ". In this connec-
tion I may state that a fatal mistake with many of our young teachers is the too hasty
introduction of new methods. Most people have great respect for old customs, and if
they fail to see why a system that has accomplished so much in the past, is not equal to
the wants of the present, we must not be too severe in our judgment of their motives.
That a child can be taught to read without first having learned every letter of the
107
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
alphabet, to them is simply a paradox, and as for kindergarten methods, however useful
as a part of the professional training of a teacher, their introduction into rural schools
generally, at the present time, would, in my opinion, be premature. Our people are not
prepared for such radical changes, and the teacher who introduces these methods too
abruptly, not only creates a want of confidence in himself, but, at the same time, secures
a verdict against the system before it has had a fair trial. The judicious teacher will
introduce his reforms cautiously, and by degrees if necessary, keeping up at least a show
of respect for the methods by which our forefathers were taught. The co-operation
of the people must be secured, as without it the best methods will prove ineffectual.
Notwithstanding these discouragements we have, however, made considerable progress
in this direction. Four years ago we employed 1 first class, 33 second-class, and 73 third-
class teachers, whilst our report for 1887 shows 1 first, 52 seconds, and 83 thirds. The
number of interim certificates issued last year (15 in all), is very much less than that of
any previous year. I notice with regret the increased tendency of second-class men to
abandon the work. A young man who has the ability to teach second-class attainments
will not content himself at $400 a year. The consequence is that many of them teach
just long enough to acquire the means to enter some other calling in which the remuner-
ation is larger and the responsibility less. So long as teachers are paid at present rates
the work must remain chiefly in the hands of inexperienced young men and young
women, as no man can settle down in life, rear and educate a family on $400 or $500
a year. Another cause why so many leave the ranks may be found in the fact that
the teacher's career is necessarily short. The average teacher reaches his meridian of
fame after about ten years experience, then follows a solstice of about five years,
after which his decline sets in, and at fifty years of age, unless exceptionally fortunate,
he is in point of salary about where he started. Just at the age when a doctor,
lawyer or farmer reaches his highest point, the teacher is worn out and unable to
secure employment on any terms.
A weak point in many of our schools is the want of proper equipment. There
•are but few that can come up to the requirements of the Departmental Regulations
in this respect. Blackboard space and wall maps are found in most of the schools,
but globes, calculators, dictionaries, etc., etc., are seldom found. I notice also that in
cases where these requirements are provided they are sometimes neither properly used nor
properly cared for. Maps, comparatively new, are thrown upon a nail in the most
careless manner, and as carelessly taken down and thrown into a corner, there to lie until
needed again. The result is that a new map, in a tew months becomes so soiled, tattered
and torn as to be almost useless. That similar carelessness exists in the use and care of
other appliances is occasionally attested by the presence of the skeleton of a numeral
frame, the fragments of a globe, map stand or other piece of apparatus. An occasional
lecture on the proper care and use of these essentials, would, in my opinion, form an im-
portant part of a model school course. No amount of training, however, will compensate
for a lack of natural taste in such matters.
The promotion examinations held in the various schools of the county for the last
two years have been productive of good results.
Our teachers, last year held a series of township meetings, in lieu of the semi-annual
meeting of the county association. Some of these were highly successful, and none could
in any sense be called a failure. I have concluded, however, that one annual meeting of
two days, or three days it necessary, is in all respects preferable to two. All that is new
and practical in the line of teaching can be discussed at one meeting, and I cannot see the
necessity of bringing teachers from 10 to 40 miles twice a year, under heavy expenses,
when the same results can be obtained without it. I consider the association an impor-
tant factor of our educational system, but there is considerable preliminary work
necessary for each meeting, and when this comes twice a year, along with preparations
for public examinations, entrance examinations, promotion examinations, etc., it tends to
keep teachers and inspector in a constant state of worry, and must in some measure
retard the solid work of the schools.

County of Glengarry.
Extract from Report of D. McDlarmid, Esq., Inspector
Eighty teachers were employed during 1887 whose qualifications were classified as
follows : — First class, two ; second class, eight ; old County Board " firsts," six ; third
class (including " extensions "), fifty-eight ; temporary certificates, six.
Although very satisfactory progress was made in a large number of schools, yet in
not a few, the advancement was not so good as could be wished. This was due to the
employment of teachers who had neither the natural qualifications nor interest in their
work. As they did not appear to have any intention of making teaching a profession,
they have no ambition of establishing a reputation of being successful teachers. The
special efforts made to secure the lowest passport into the profession, seems to have
exhausted their energies — as long as they can get trustees to employ them and apply for
extensions of their expired licenses, they will neither qualify themselves for higher, nor
for renewal of their former certificates by passing the prescribed examinations. Satisfied
that they know enough to teach pupils of ordinary schools, they neglect the study of
text-books and the many helps in the line of educational books and periodicals which can
be procured at a small cost — the result is that these teachers have degenerated to mere
keepers of school.
The unfortunate scarcity of qualified teachers existing in the county, has favored the
development of this undesirable class, whose ranks would soon disappear were the holders
of regular " thirds " debarred from taking charge of the schools of large sections, and con-
fined to those of small districts. Those of the former should be taught by the holders of
first and second-class certificates, who can be obtained from counties of the province where
the supply of teachers exceeds the demand. Trustees who advertize for teachers in any
leading Toronto newspaper will have no difficulty in filling vacancies.
Judging from past experience, it is almost hopeless to expect, that for some years at
least, a sufficient number of teachers (natives of the county), possessors of permanent
licenses, will be found to supply all the districts, able and willing to pay them as liberal
salaries as are allowed in other counties. It is therefore very desirable that the trustees
of strong sections should seek elsewhere well trained and qualified persons to place over
their schools.
If the public school pupils of the county are expected to receive as good a training as
that given in many other counties, it is absolutely necessary that the best available
instructors be appointed to educate them.
This recommendation, if adopted, will no doubt slightly increase the school tax, which
however will not be so great as is generally supposed.
Trustees, before placing their schools in charge of inferior and cheap teachers, should
take steps to learn the salaries required by good teachers, which will enable them to know
the exact sum needed to supplement the wages usually paid, and the ability of the rate-
payers to bear the additional burden laid on them, with the view of providing their
children with competent instructors. The granting of fair salaries to successful teachers
will induce them to prolong their stay in the same schools, and thus remove one of the
hindrances to the progress of the schools — the frequent change of teachers.
The number of teaching days in the Public Schools in 1887 was, in the first half, 126
and in the second half, 95 — in all 221 days.
The chronic evil of irregular attendance is still unabated. It is true that epidemics
of contagious and infectious diseases, as well as the illness of pupils from other causes,
are no small factors in decreasing the attendance, but parents and guardians are frequently
to blame for permitting their children to stay from school, or preventing their going, for
trivial causes. The influence of the teacher has much to do with the average attendance
— a good, energetic teacher has full classes at all seasons, whilst those schools in charge
of indifferent or poor teachers are always slim.
Irregular attendance is an injury to the pupils who frequently absent themselves, aa-
well as to the members of the classes to which they belong — the progress of their class-
109
h-1 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
mates being retarded in order to give the " irregulars " some knowledge of the work
taken up during their absence. Trustees, in employing inexperienced or moderately suc-
cessful teachers, are in a measure responsible for the hindrance complained of.
It will be noticed that in 1887 the number reported in the fifth class is much smaller
than that given in previous years — this is accounted for by the establishing in many
schools of an advanced fourth class, and of the fifth-class work, now forming part of the
High School course.
The acquaintance of the pupils in the different classes with the prescribed studies for
these, varies according to the ability of the teachers. The mere fact of pupils being mem-
bers of certain classes does not in all cases indicate the possession of the same knowledge
of the subjects of study of these and preceding classes. This difference is not at all so
great now as it was several years ago, as superficial teachers in order to gain popularity
by the promotion of unprepared pupils to higher classes, cannot do so, at present, with
impunity, the periodical written examinations being tests which prove the nature of their
teaching. Of these, the High School entrance examinations have conferred incalculable
benefits on the Elementary Schools. The examination papers prepared in Toronto, and
used simultaneously in selected places throughout the province, force teachers to devote
their time to the thorough teaching of the important branches of the Public School
course, with the object of grounding their pupils in these, and fitting them to pass the
High School admission examinations.
The interest taken by parents and teachers in them is shown in the yearly increase
in the number of applicants for certificates. In July, sixty-four were examined in Alex-
andria and twenty-six in Williamstown, of whom fifty and fourteen passed. In December,
the figures were respectively fifty-six and forty-one, with fourteen and fifteen successful,
or a total for the year of 187, of whom ninety-three were granted certificates.
Uniform and Promotion Examination.
There is no doubt but that much of the success of pupils attending the former examina-
tions must be credited to the training received by them, in the many written tests of their
knowledge of their work, to which they were subjected, before and during the exami-
nation required for advancement to other classes — which course was not generally followed
until the establishment of this examination — the Uniform and Promotion, which was
held on the 24th and 25th of November.
I have nothing to add under this head to that contained in my former reports but
that I was favorably impressed with the good effect the knowledge that this examination
would be held, had on the general management of the schools.
Schools.
In the county are six brick, thirty-eight frame, and thirty log school houses — some
-of the latter have been clapboarded and painted outside, wainscoted or lathed and
plastered within. Two new ones were built during the year, in sections 12, Kenyon, and
8, Lochiel. Others are needed in a few localities to replace the poor structures now in use.
County Model Schools.
The trustees of the Martintown Model school secured an additional second-class male
teacher during the Model School term, to take charge of the senior department — thus
freeing the Principal from his school duties, and permitting him to devote his time to the
instruction and supervision of the students. This new departure had the effect of turning
out a better prepared class than was possible under the previous management.
Teachers' Association.
The regular yearly meeting was held in Alexandria on the 17th and 18th of Febru-
ary. Over seventy per cent, of the teachers were in attendance, and appreciated the
opportunity for self-improvement afforded them.

County of Grey — South.
Extract from Report oj N. W. Campbell, Esq., Inspector.
During 1887 there was in this inspectorate an outlay for school purposes of
$44,893.58. Amounts proportionally large are expended in almost every county in the
Province, and yet, with this large expenditure, it is found cheaper to maintain our schools
than, without our schools, to maintain institutions for the suppression of the vice and
crime that naturally follow ignorance and superstition. The future welfare of our coun-
try also depends more largely upon the thorough efficiency of the schools than upon any
other agency at work in our midst. 1 would therefore that our County Council be fore-
most in diffusing throughout the county a deeper interest in, and a more profound spirit
of inquiry into, everything that pertains to our school system than have heretofore been
manifested. Many teachers complain of the lack of appreciation and interest shown by
the parents and even by the trustees of their sections. Many during the year never saw
a ratepayer in the section drop in to make a friendly call. This lack of interest on the
part of parents generally finds its way to the pupils, and a state of mutual indifference is
the result.
With respect to the trustees' receipts and expenditure of each township for the
year. Artemesia stands first in this respect, owing chiefly to the erection of new school
buildings in School Section No. 5 and No. 10, and the veneering with brick of the
school-house in No. 2. The balances in the hands of the trustees throughout the inspec-
torate show that in some sections provision has not yet been made for the payment of
teachers' salaries quarterly, as required by law. Glenelg expends the largest percentage
of its receipts in the payment of its teachers, that percentage being 75. The reason of
this probably is that Glenelg has only eight Public School sections and three Unions, the
schools of which latter are in the neighboring municipalities.
It is gratifying to notice that although many of the schools are deficient in maps,
globes, etc., the trustees are gradually providing a full equipment,. and soon we may hope
to see in addition to these an eight-day clock in every school and a standard dictionary
and gazetteer on every teacher's desk.
A comparison of the municipalities is instructive. The number of male teachers is
in excess of the number of females by three. Most counties have a very different show-
ing. Bentinck and Osprey pay the highest salary to a male teacher, while Glenelg pays
the highest salary to a female. Artemesia, however, as a township pays the highest
average salary to its male teachers, while Osprey again pays the highest average salary to
its female teachers. A look at the grade of the teachers' certificates shows that only 33J
per cent, of the teachers employed have first or second class certificates. This percentage
is low compared with that in some other counties; and as these higher grade certificates
indicate experience and training, the fact that we have so few of them proves that our
111
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
people do no", fully appreciate the importance of employing thoroughly trained and com-
petent teachers, or that other counties can and do pay better salaries than ours. Of
course teachers always accept a call to a higher salary and a better position. During the
year there were employed only two teachers having interim certificates or " permits."
One other had such certificate for the last half of the year. No "permits" will be given
in the inspectorate for 1888 on account of the over-supply of certificated teachers, some of
whom are yet unemployed.
The total school population of Artemesia is reported nearly 100 less than the num-
ber actually enrolled on the school registers during the year. This is scarcely possible
unless there has been an exodus of some kind going on. In many sections of the other
townships the same peculiarity occurs. Leaving aside Artemesia as not furnishing
accurate data, it can be seen that Osprey has by far the greatest percentage of its school
population enrolled on its school registers, 927 being enrolled out of a total population
of 962. Normanby has the highest percentage, and it is only 47; that is to say, only 47
per cent, of those enrolled attend average time. In respect to the percentage of the total
school population that has attended average time, Osprey stands first, 38 per cent, of its
school population attending average time. All these percentages are low, and show a
very irregular attendance on the part of the pupils. Trustees do not as a rule enforce
the law with reference to the attendance of pupils at school. Only one Board of Trus-
tees (No. 13, Proton) reported doing so. This probably accounts for the large number
(415) of children between 7 and 13 years of age reported as not having attended any
school during the year, and also the number (2,186) of the same ages who did not attend
school 100 days, as required by law.
Number of brick school-houses, 19; stone, 30; frame or concrete, 34; log, 4; all are
freehold premises with the exception of one in Proton. The number of visits made by
the Inspector was 192; by Trustees, 198; by others, 505. The number of maps in the
inspectorate is 624, of globes, 68; 610 trees were planted during the year, and religious
exercises were conducted, as required by the Departmental Regulations, in 90 schools and
departments. With reference to this last item, you will be pleased to know that religious
exercises were conducted in all the schools except nine. It is hoped that during the
present year all the schools will fall into line in this respect, and that all the teachers
will constantly keep before their pupils the great principles of religion as embodied in the
Bible.
From the large sums of money yearly expended upon our schools, from the increas-
ing interest manifested in their welfare, from the willingness with ' which our ratepayers
attend school meetings, from the desire of most trustees to comply with the Departmental
Regulations, and from the determination of all classes of the community to make our
schools not merely schools in name but in very fact, there is reason to believe that our
people will endeavor to aid every reasonable effort to increase the efficiency of the Public
Schools, and to make them such that our young people may grow up educated in every
sense of that word, for " a thoroughly educated people can never be made slaves."
In analysing the hindrances to progress in our schools, I found the following to be
the cause of most frequent complaint : —
1. Irregular attendance of pupils. During a winter so severe as the past this wa3 a
serious hindrance. In many cases the recorded attendance during a great part of the
winter was scarcely one-fifth of the general attendance. In some parts of the Riding
where the snow was exceptionally deep the winter school population in actual attendance
has scarcely a representative now in school. The pupils who were thus deprived can be
easily distinguished from those who enjoyed the advantage of attending regularly. A
lower standing of the school as a whole is the inevitable result, without any one being
blamable.
2. A lack of controlling power in the teacher. "Order is Heaven's first law." It
should be so also in the school. Without order there is no organization, and without
thorough organization there is no progress. The teacher must exercise the disciplinary
powers vested in him by law, otherwise much of his time and energies are wasted. The
number of our teachers who do not exercise proper control is small indeed, and the fewer
of such in the profession the better. I cannot speak too highly of my teachers as a
112
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
whole. They are doing their utmost to raise the schools of the inspectorate to a higher
level than ever before. Not only are they endeavoring to give their pupils a good Public
School education, but also in setting before them a good example and surrounding them
with those influences that tend to elevate the pupils socially and morally. Here, I con-
ceive, is the teacher's most responsible work; for he must lay a good foundation of these
principles on which true manhood and true womanhood must be built.
3. Positively bad teaching. This also is happily rare in the schools of South Grey.
There is, however, a vast difference between the " imparting power " of one teacher and
that of another. Some are apt to mistake telling for teaching; others neglect frequent
reviews, and thus the instruction imparted is not fixed in the mind of the pupil.
4. Lack of school supplies. This complaint is heard from a number of sections. It
is felt in those subjects — such as geography — in which objective teaching is necessary to
advancement. Although trustees in general take a lively interest in the schools and
their work, yet some are slow to recognize the responsibility of providing the necessary
apparatus and equipment for the school. In a few instances it was necessary to apply
some little pressure before even reading tablets and a few maps were provided.
5. Frequent change of teacher. I know nothing that for a time hinders the work of
a school more than this. In these schools in which teachers change most frequently,
almost without exception the standing of the pupils is not so high as in those where some
permanency is given the teacher's engagement. Some fifty of my schools have new
teachers this year, and although in some cases the change was for the better, yet even then
the progress made by the pupils is difficult to measure. Different methods are adopted
by the teachers, and some month or two is partially lost to the pupils before the new
methods are to them more than a novelty.
Our semi-annual Teachers' Convention was held in Durham June 7th and 8th. Over
seventy teachers answered the roll-call. The most important result of the convention
was the unanimous decision of the teachers to hold, next December, a uniform promotion
examination over the inspectorate. It has long been felt that the schools were far
from being uniformly graded, and it is thought that these promotion examinations will
result here, as in other counties, in producing to some extent the desired effect. The
great hindrance in the past was the lack of means to conduct in a proper manner the
examinations ; but so thoroughly convinced are the teachers that regular and uniform
promotions will result in good to the schools that they decided to conduct an examina-
tion this fall at their own expense if the Township Councils do not come to their aid.
It must not be thought that these examinations are for the benefit of the teachers or
the Inspector. Far from it. They will double the work of both at certain seasons of
the year. Both are, however, quite willing to do all the extra work gratis, but, as the
good of the pupils is aimed at, those most interested should be willing to defray necessary
expenses. I hope, however, to have more definite results and statistics to lay before you
at another meeting.
I cannot pass without expressing my gratification at the result of a recent Township
Examinations held in Norman by last April. The success of the examination was due to
the energy and zeal of the teachers. The Township Council has also done nobly in appreci-
ating the work of the teachers, and in showing its appreciation by paying the expenses
of the examination.
My first visit to the Meaford Model School was made during the first week of April.
The school has increased so that the present building, containing seven rooms, was not
adequate to accommodate the pupils, and the board found it necessary to fit up another
building and employ an eighth teacher. The school was thoroughly reorganized and
reclassified shortly before my visit. It is now in first-class order, and, under the super-
vision of the present energetic principal, Mr. Burgess, the school bids fair to rank as high
as any of its size in the Province. Already in the Senior Department is a large class of
young men and women which would form an excellent neuclus for a High School.
Over fifty candidates have applied to write on the Entrance Examination to be held
in Durham on July 4th. , 5th and 6th. On account of the refusal of the payment of Pre-
siding Examiners by the County Council it fell to the local boards to pay the same. The
Durham board does not consider it fair to be compelled to pay this when they' have not
113
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
the authority to levy a fee on those participating in its benefits from the surrounding
municipalities. They object chiefly on the ground that the examination is held not for
the benefit of Durham alone but also for the convenience of the surrounding townships;
that although the County Council pays 75 cents a candidate for the examination, the
Town of Durham pays its share of that 75 cents and the expense of presiding besides.
As Inspector for the South Riding I plead for the South. I consider it but fair
that these examinations be held for the convenience of the schools of the South. I should
like to see them made more permanent than at present, so that they be not dependent on
the willingness or unwillingness of local boards to pay necessary expenses. I think that
if the County Council look the matter squarely in the face they will see the equity of
paying the expenses of these examinations out of a common fund.
County of Gpey — West.
Extract from Report of Thomas Gordon, Esq., Inspector.
In none of the townships is the average attendance one-half of the pupils whose
names appear on the register. This is accounted for to a great extent by the fact that
the individual attendance varies with the seasons, the larger and stronger pupils form-
ing the winter classes, and the younger and smaller pupils the summer attendance. The
result is increased cost per pupil.
During the year 1887 almost all the schools in certain townships were taught
by teachers holding regular certificates, the result being that the work of the schools was
more systematically done and more practically beneficial than when frequent resort had
to be made to "permits." An evidence of this is furnished in the large numbers trying
the High School Entrance Examination and in the general success attending their efforts.
In each of my visits to the schools I have sought to direct attention to the features in
education which are likely to be of the greatest benefit in after life, and most likely to
conduce to the advantage of the children when they become men and women.
County of Grey — East.
Extract from Report of A. Grier, Esq., Inspector.
There are at present sixty Public Schools and separate departments of Public
Schools in the three townships, including the Town of Thornbury, composing the East-
erly Inspectoral Division. I have visited each school and separate department in accord-
ance with the Regulations of the Education Department and performed all the other
work connected therewith.
"We are below the Provincial average for male teachers (with the exception of
Euphrasia), being $400, but above the Provincial average for female teachers, being $270.
Sixty teachers were employed during the year 1887, « and the same number are
employed at the date hereof. Of these 1 held a Provincial first class certificate, 17 Pro-
vincial second class, 2 Old Country Board second class certificates, 38 third class certifi-
cates and 3 temporary certificates.
The number of children of all ages whose names were entered on the school registers
during the year 1887 was 4,517, including the Town of Thornbury.
In all graded schools where more than one teacher is employed the whole programme
of fifth class work is taken up and efficiently taught, and in a few of the rural schools
part of the fifth class subjects is taught, but where only one teacher is employed it is
almost impossible for the teacher to devote sufficient time and attention to a fifth class to
prepare the pupils to pass a successful examination, that is to obtain a third* class non-
professional certificate, unless the junior classes are neglected. Nearly all the fifth class
-work is done in the graded Public Schools and High Schools. All the Public Schools
under my supervision, without a single exception, are taught practically, intelligently and
efficiently, and the schools are in a healthy and progressive state, and have made substan-
tial progress.

Extract from Report of C. D. Curry, Esq., Inspector.
The expenditure of the year as reported was $9,765.59. Of this expenditure $906.46
■was for permanent improvements, the chief items being for new frame school houses in S. S.
No. 2, Cardiff, and in S. S. No. 5, Monmouth. The expenditure for ordinary running
expenses during 1887 was per pupil, $5.38, as against $6.43 for last year. The cost on
average attendance was' $18.22.
The cost per pupil varies very much in different parts of the County, being (on aver-
age attendance) in 1, Anson, $8.68 ; in 3, Dysart, $12.18 ; in 3, Minden, $15.29 ; and in

The increase in the number of pupils on the registers is satisfactory. This should
not allow us to close our eyes upon the fact that 693 children, between the ages of 7 and
13 — the most valuable years of school life — have attended less than 100 days during the
year.
Six male and 44 female teachers were employed. Average salary of male teachers
-$280.25, the highest being 8450 and the lowest $192. Average salary of female teachers
$201.44, the highest being $252 and the lowest $180.
Certificates were: Second Class Provincial 1, First Class, Old County Board 1,
Second Class, Old Country Board, 1, Third Class District 46, Interim 1, total 50.
School Houses: Frame school houses 23, Log school houses 28, total 51.
New frame school houses have been erected in 2, Cardiff, and in 5, Monmouth.
That in 2, Cardiff, deserves especial mention as being well finished and very well equipped.
Forest fires caused the destruction of the school house in S. S. No. 4, Snowdon. The
trustees propose to replace it with a neat frame building. Many of the old log structures
in the older sections must soon be replaced by buildings better adapted to the require-
ments of the day.

The usual meetings of the Teachers' Association were held. The attendance was-
satisfactory and the work done of a practical nature.
Our most pressing need from an educational point of view is proper professional
training for our teachers. At present we are forced to place our children under the
direction of those who, whatever their knowledge or zeal, have but little conception of
the magnitude of the trust committed to them. Few of our teachers remain longer with
us than the limit of their certificates (three years), and just as they are beginning to have
some idea of the true nature of their work, and just as they are becoming valuable, we
lose their services. The departmental regulations regarding Model Schools would require
some modification to meet our particular case, but this being done, and a Model School
suited to our circumstances established, the evil just spoken of would, to a large extent,,
be obviated.
County of Haltok.
Extract from Report of J. S. Deacon, Esq., Inspector.
Inspection. — Eighty -nine schools and departments were in operation during the first
half year and eighty-seven during the second half. In each half year I visited every
school and department at least once, as required by the Statutes. In addition to these I
made twenty supplementary visits during the year, hence the aggregate of my official
visits was 196. The course pursued at each visit was similar to that outlined in my
reports for 1885 and 1886. I tried to study the peculiar requirements of each school and
to vary my methods of inspection accordingly, in order that my visit might be of much
practical benefit to teacher and pupils. While aiming to get a correct estimate of the
management and general proficiency of each school, I endeavored by teaching, examination,
or advice to secure increased attention to subjects of primary importance, or to those that,
in some schools, are poorly taught or wholly neglected. About 33 per cent, of our
teachers bring to their work such a high degree of ability, energy, enterprise and integrity
that their teaching and management are classed as excellent. With such teachers an
inspector finds few errors, if any, to be removed.
I am glad to be able to say that my suggestions have been kindly received by teach-
ers and trustees, and that the year was one of harmony and educational progress.
At the end of the year there were 31 changes of teachers. Eight of these were
caused by the expiration of certificates, 8 by choice of the trustees, and the remainder by
volition of the teacher. Injustice to the majority of trustees I must say that the tend-
ency at present is to retain the services of fairly efficient teachers rather than take the
risk of replacing them by others who are less capable. A few trustees have established a
maximum salary, beyond which they will not advance a jot to retain the best teacher
that the country can produce. Two such boards are enjoying the services of their fourth
teacher since my advent to this county. It is almost needless to add that neither school
has made average progress, although both were fortunate in securing teachers of good
ability. By contrast, I could name two others that have increased their teacher's salary
twenty per cent, within the last two years, and in each case the efficiency of the school
has risen much more rapidly than the salary of the teacher. These trustees believe in
the principle of " Payment by Results."
All the school sites in the county are now freehold. A superior brick woodshed
(the best in the county), including closets under the same roof, has been built in No.
12, Esquesing, and a frame one, similar in every other respect, in No. 11, Nelson. The
cost of the former was about 6350, and of the latter §100. They are worthy the
attention and inspection of all trustees whose school outbuildings are in a dilapidated or
unhealthy condition. The senior department of Burlington P. S. has been supplied with
single desks and seats (net cost $140) ; they are the most handsome, commodious and
hygienic P. S. desks used in this county. Nearly every section is fairly supplied with,
maps, charts and reading tablets.
Arbor Day was observed in 35 sections and 528 trees were planted.

(a) The school population, comprising all between the ages of 5 and 21 years, was
6,556 — a decrease of 587 during the year. Is it possible that our population is decreasing
with such rapidity, or is there carelessness in reporting the numbers to the assessors ?
The management of the Model School at Milton reflects credit upon its energetic
Principal and his ethcient staff of assistants. The value of a Model School course depends
largely upon the management of the Principal in directing the efforts of his students and
of his faithfulness in pointing out and correcting their errors. It is likewise important
that the assistants exemplify, in their daily work, the most approved methods of teaching.
Without excellent models to guide them, the students would receive little benefit from
their practice in teaching or their study of theories. Seven ladies and seven gentlemen
were in attendance during the term and wrote at the December examination. Eleven of
these received Third Class Certificates and another will receive his upon attaining the
requirrd age.
The Teachers' Institute was in session four days — two in January and two in
October. They were very interesting sessions and well attended. The October meeting
was unusually profitable, owing to the practical teaching. Calisthenics and Kinder-
garten exercises were witnessed in five departments of the Milton Model School.
Hastings, Nokth.
Extract from Report of W. Mackintosh. Esq., Inspector.
During the current year I have inspected all the schools in the townships north of
Madoc, Marmora, and Elzevir, in the free grant and new districts twice, with the excep-
tion of some which were closed for a portion of the year. Even in these cases, I visited
the sections generally. In a number of instances the sections have been visited three
times. During the past half year every school except one has been in operation. In all,
39 have been open.
The qualifications of the teachers were as follows, viz. : Provincial Certificates
^Second class) 2 ; Third class (Provincial) 9 ; Third class (District) 19 ; and Interim
Certificates 9.
The school houses are classified as folio vvs, viz. : Frame 17, log 23.
Not a few of the schools have done excellent work. Nearly all have made as much
progress as could, under the circumstances, be looked for.
County of Leeds, No. 1.
Extract from Report of W. Jolinston, Es>/., Inspector.
Of the educational condition of my inspectorate I can say but little as yet. Much
of the district is exceedingly barren — covered with rocks and water. In one section,
situated on the Rideau canal, a ratepayer complained bitterly to me that I was attempt-
ing to force an expensive teacher upon them, and that they could not afford to pay the
salary asked — $210 a year. Upon inquiry I learned that his school taxes last year were
$6, and that the tax whs levied upon six hundred acres of land ! It is needless for me
to explain that "land" is here used in the Legal sense. In another section the amount
paid tor teacher's salary last year was $60, and the assessed value of the section is
§20,000 1 Numerous illustrations of this kind could be given.
I have succeeded in keeping the schools open during the whole year, with only one
or two exceptions. This system, one of half-time, was a " crying evil" in the district.
The schools are now in the hands of Model and Normal trained teachers, with only
four exceptions, and this I know to be a great good.
The establishment of a Model School in Gananoque will, I believe, infuse new life
into that part of the county, and the holding of an Entrance Examination at Newboro'
117
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
would complete the circuit. The holding of an Entrance Examination in Newboro' I
would beg leave to recommend, as that village is twenty-five miles from any High School.
Indeed, the people of Newboro' contemplate making application for the establishment of
a High School in their village.
My teachers are, with very few exceptions, well qualified for their work, and they
are all earnest, and doing everything in their power to do their very best.
Everything considered, I feel hopeful for educational advancement in my district. I
am endeavoring to induce the people to educate their children.
County op Lanark.
Extract from Report of F. L. Michel I, Esq., Inspector.
From all sources the receipts were $54,205.92. The whole amount expended for
school purposes during 1887 was $45,641.59, of which $33,901.12 was for teachers'
salaries. The average cost of each pupil in the several municipalities for 1887 was :
Bathurst and Pakenham §8 76
Beckwith, Drummond, Pakenham 7 71
Burgess North, Darling 5 54
Carleton Place 4 43
Dalhousie and N. Sherbrooke 5 18
North Elmsley 6 42
Lanark Village , 6 07
Lanark Township 7 14
Lavant and Montague 6 91
South Sherbrooke 5 35
The average cost per pupil for the whole county was $6.86. The highest salary
paid to a male teacher (exclusive of Almonte, Smith's Falls, and Perth) was $650
in Pakenham Village. The average salary paid male teachers was $305; the average
to female teachers, $200. We are still far below the Provincial average in this
respect, such being 8400 for males, and $270 for females. We must face the inevit-
able and increase the salaries of our teachers, if we are to keep abreast with the other
counties of the Province. In not a few sections, and not unfrequently in those best able
to bear the burden, the schools are, by the influence of those whose sole desire seems to
be " to keep down taxes," supplied with inferior teachers. Cheapness is the only qualifi-
cation demanded. As a consequence, the schools are badly taught, the children make no
advancement in intelligence and desire to learn. They are, in fact, worse at the conclu-
sion of the agreement than at the beginning, since the mental activities of the pupils have
been dwarfed. The children of a whole neighbourhood are deprived of the opportunity
to get an education necessary to enable them to perform the duties of citizenship in a
state where the government is in the hands of the people, because a few illiberal,
unpatriotic persons care more for a slight saving in the school tax, than for the advant-
ages accruing to the community from a regularly attended and efficiently taught school.
Such action well deserves the scorn of all right thinking persons, and the more liberal
majority should see to it that the destiny of the school is not placed at the tender mercy
of such persons.
One hundred and forty-two teachers were employed during 1887. Of these, 5 held
Provincial First Class ; 9 Provincial Second Class ; 102 Third Class ; and 27 were tem-
porarily certificated.
Though slowly improving, we are still lax in the choice of teachers. This is
undoubtedly the most difficult of the trustees' duties. So far as scholarship is concerned,
the certificate affords a sufficient test ; but aptitude to teach, honesty in the discharge of
duty, good governing power, are not written on the certificate — neither do testimonials
118
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
satisfy in these particulars. Little wonder then that bad selections are so often made by
trustees, really actuated by a desire to do right towards the section. The matter is much
worse when careless trustees are satisfied with any teacher, provided he reaches a
" starvation " salary.
The number of children of all ages whose names were enrolled during- 1887. was
6,665—3,413 boys, and 3,252 girls. Of these, 596 attended less than 20 days ; 1,031
between 20 and 50 days; 1,482 between 50 and 100 davs ; 1,622 between 100 and 150
days , 1,629 between 150 and 200 days ; whilst only 295 are reported as attending for
more than 200 days. Only three small schools were closed during a pare of the year.
Bad as this appears to be, it is a shade better than last year. But surely a better record
is possible. The distance and bad state of the roads during the winter, rendered irregu-
larity unavoidable, but I regret to state that much of this is due to the carelessness of
parents, to the neglect or avarice of trustees in failing to secure properly qualitied teachers,
and, in too many cases, to the disinclination of the teachers to make the schools attractive
to the pupils, or to endeavor to draw forth the careless pupils. The evil does not stop
with the pupil who absents himself unnecessarily. It retards the progress of the whole
school, works disaster to the ardor of the most energetic teacher, and combined with
frequent change of teachers, greatly obstructs the progress of the school. Eighty-five are
reported as not having attended any school, and over 1,000 as not having attended 100
days according to law. It would appear from this that not a few parents are withholding
from their children the minimum of education required by the statutes of the land. The
clause in the school law respecting compulsory attendance is generally, if not universally,
disregarded, owing, perhaps, to its inherent defects, the duty of enforcing it being imposed
upon the trustees.
Of the 6,665 pupils enrolled, there was an average attendance of 3,027 during the
first half, and 3,393 during the second, or an average of 3,210 for the full smool year,
being about 48 per cent, of the number enrolled. The Provincial average also is just 48
per cent.
During 1837 there were enrolled in First Class (Part I.) 1,593 ; in Part II., 1,015 :
in Second Class, 1,409 ; in Third Class, 1,596 ; in Fourth Class, 945 ; and in Fifth, 107.
Nearly all the Fifth Class work is done in the High Schools. The above classification
exhibits, I regret to say, but roughly the intelligence and attainments of the pupils. I
have not yet been able to extend the uniform system of promotion, in vogue in our graded
schools, to all the public schools of the Inspectorate. Until such a step is taken the
schools must continue to be classified in a crude and unsatisfactory manner.
The time of the pupils is employed mainly in the acquisition of the ordinary branches
of the school programme, and in the face of the difficulties already alluded to, the progress
has been good. At every recurring visit do I find the majority of the teachers more
earnestly trying to perform their duties with zeal and intelligence. Not a few of them,
by the consultation of works on education, by judicious effort to improve in method, and
best of all, by a conscientiousness in the work in which they are engaged, have made
substantial progress. Sympathy and recognition from the trustees would make this
better order of things universal.
The number of schools has been again increased, a new section having been formed
in Lavant, and another in Dalhousie. There are 125 rural school houses, classified as
follows: 11 brick; 14 stone ; 80 frame; 20 log. All the school property is freehold.
Many of the school houses denominated log, are among the most comfortable. They have
been clapboarded externally, and lathed and plastered within. The year has been one of
progress, in so far as improvement in school property is concerned, though in many cases
there is still room for improvement, especially No. 17, Drummond (Innisville), and No.
13, Drummond. As a general rule, trustees respond readily to a request towards
improvement.
I regret to state that the trustees and parents do not visit the schools systematically
and regularly. Such visitation with a general " turn out " on examination day, would
do much towards creating a sympathy between parents and teacher, and would in this
way be productive of lasting good. There were 155 examinations held during the year,
many of which were poorly attended.
119
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
Arbor Day enriched the school grounds by 403 trees. Besides, the general clean-
ing up, incident to such a celebration, is a desirable feature of this now generally observed
holiday.
Religious Instruction. — In 123 schools the Scriptures and prayers are regularly read.
In none is 'the clause of the school regulations, authorizing instruction by a minister,
carried out regularly, though quite a number report occasional service of this kind.
Temperance. — This subject has now to be taught in the schools. I have recom-
mended trustees or teachers to provide the book, and impart the information by way of
reading or lecturing, followed by general questions. In this way a gradual and thoiough
knowledge of the hand book will be obtained. The use of any one text- book for all the
pupils of a school in any other way than this, seems to me impracticable.
Model School.— -The County Model School for the professional training of teachers,
is doing good work. The course consists partly of the study of works on education of
recognized merit, and partly in practice in teaching under the supervision of the principal.
Forty-two candidates attended during 1887.
Teachers' Association. — The annual meeting of the Association was held in Oarleton
Place, when work of a practical character was done, and a lecture, given by Dr. Baptie,
of Ottawa Normal School. The semi-annual meeting, under the direction of Mr. Hous-
ton, M.A., Librarian, House of Assembly, was held in Almonte.
In spite of many drawbacks already mentioned, I can report substantial progress along
the line generally. But much can yet be done towards the cultivation of a taste for
study and a desire for improvement among the pupils. True, the old reign of terror is
almost over. The pupils are induced to do their work with more appreciation and
thoroughness than formerly, but the greatest of all the objects of education has not been
attained, viz., education towards the formation of character. The work of the text-book,
the work of the teacher is not final, but only directory. The scholar should be impelled
in the direction of a pure and useful life. Hence it is that the destiny of the child is in
no small degree entrusted to the teacher. How necessary, therefore, for a thoroughly
disciplined mind, an earnest, steadfast purpose, high moral thoughts and aspirations, a
sound judgment, and a sensitive conscience, for one who is to be the intellectual, moral,
and, to some extent, the physical guide of the youth of this young country.
That too many of our teachers are incompetent by reason of youth and inexperience,
must be admitted ; that some are incompetent by disinclination for the work, and lack
of energy, cannot be denied, I sincerely trust that the importance of the work — its
effects on the future of our country — may inspire municipal councillors and trustees,
teachers and pupils, to take more interest in the wants and aims of our local educational
system.
County of Yokk, North.
Extract from, Report of A. B. Davidson, Esq., Inspector
The number of Schools and departments was one hundred and two, conducted in
twenty-nine brick and sixty-one frame buildings. In School Section No. 12, King, the
last log school house in North York, was vacated and a brick erected in its stead, which
is one of the finest rural school houses in the County.
During the year one frame and three brick buildings were erected — one brick in
Whitchurch and all the others in the township of King.
In the southern part of the inspectorate no little care and taste has been exercised
by Trustees in making the surroundings neat and the buildings comfortable for the child-
ren ; but in the northern part no such care is manifested, the surroundings being very
indifferent, and the buildings generally poor, and in quite a number of cases very
cold and uncomfortable for the winter, as in Sections 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of North Gwillim-
bury.
120
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
One hundred and two teachers were employed, of whom six held First-Class, thirtv-
six Second CI iss, fifty-seven Third Class, and three County Board certificates. All the
teachers employed were duly qualified, no permits being now granted in the inspectorate.
At the close of the year one out of every three schools changed teachers, so that on
an average the teaching start of the inspectorate is completely changed every three years.
lam convinced that the number of those between the ages oE 7 and 13, who do
not attend any school, is very much greater than that reported. None are reported by
the villages as delinquents in this respect, while as a matter of fact there are quite a
number in every one of them.
With the exception of one instance in the township of King, I have not learned of
any effort being made by Trustees to correct this unfortunate condition of things either
by moral suasion or legal compulsion. That these educational waifs acquire for them-
selves a street education, which untits them from ever becoming worthy citizens, and
most certainly fits them for a comparatively useless or a vicious life, is but a necessary
consequence of their neglect by parents and Trustees.
The average daily attendance under the care of each teacher was 34, being 33 in the
first half of the year, and 35 in the second. Were the attendance of the registered
pupils regular, the average attendance to each teacher would have been 73 instead of 34.
So that could we secure the regular attendance of the pupils, the schools would accomplish
twice as much as they do at exactly the same cost, or were the attendance regular all
would be accomplished in six months that is now accomplished in twelve. So that
irregularity ol attendance alone causes a loss of one-half the educational value of the
schools.
Allow me to call your attention specially to the very great inequality of taxation.
The following shows the lowest and the highest rates levied for ordinary school purposes
in the townships : — Georgina from two mills on the dollar to seven and three-tenths ■
North Gwillimbury from two mills to three and one-half; East Gwillimbury two and
seven-tenths mills to six ; Whitchurch one and three-tenths mills to 5 ; King one and a
half mills to twelve and four-fifths; Vaughan one and one-fifth mills to four and seven-
tenths.
In almost all cases the high rate is levied on the poorest Sections of a township, and
the low rate on the richest. Where the high rate is levied the people are unable to obtain
anything but the " cheapest " teachers, the poorest buildings, furniture and appliances
and for these poor educational privileges they have to pay two or three times as much as
those in the more favored parts of a township. In a word, the poor people of the town-
ships have to pay a very high price for a poor article ; the rich a low price for a superior
article.
Arbor Day was marked by the planting of 845 trees, a general cleaning of the play-
grounds, and forming of flower beds.
The usual promotion examinations were held on the 9th of April and 4th of Novem-
ber. At the first 1,032 pupils wrote ; at the second 862. With two exceptions all the
schools avail themselves of the benefits to be derived from these examinations, chief of
which are (1) directing the instruction of the less experienced teachers; (2) stimulating
a healthy ambition among the pupils ; (3) removing opportunities for local jealousy to
interfere with the classification of the school ; (4) making the classification much more
perfect.
With one or two exceptions, all the schools are opened or closed with the reading of
Scripture and prayer. In no school is formal religious instruction given by any one.
Instruction in Temperance and Hygiene, is given on Friday afternoon by the teachers
in the form of a talk based on the authorized text-book. In this way the intention of the
Education Department is fully met, and all the advantages of exact knowledge secured
for the children in a manner at once pleasant and interesting.
The Entrance Examinations to the High Schools were attended by 90 candidates at
Richmond Hill, 118 at Newmarket, and 34 at Sutton.
The Model School at Newmarket was attended by 18 students, 5 males and 13
females. With two exceptions, all passed creditably the examinations prescribed by the
Education Department, and most of them obtained situations in the inspectorate.

The Public School Board of Newmarket, with intelligent liberality in regard to salary,
has secured an excellent staff of teachers, so that the teachers in training are provided
with every opportunity of securing all the aid and assistance such a school can possibly
render.
The Annual Meeting of the Teachers' Association was very successful. A large
number of the teachers were present and took an active interest in the papers presented,
and the discussions which followed, all of which had a very direct bearing on the daily
work of the teacher. Instead of the Association meeting at some central point in the
fall, local institutes were held at Maple, Aurora and Sutton. These lasted but one day.
In the forenoon the pupils of the schools were present and furnished classes, which
the teachers in session conducted, showing practically different methods of presenting
the various subjects to a class. In the afternoon papers were read and discussions con-
ducted by teachers on subjects of importance to the profession.
The library of the Association, which contains over 400 volumes all bearing directly
or indirectly on the work of the teacher, was well patronized during the year. The As-
sociation also enables each member to obtain any of the educational journals at a very
low rate. In this way it secures the "wider circulation of literature calculated to stimu-
late and assist the teachers in their professional labors.
I cannot close my Report without testifying to the earnest and progressive character
of my fellow-laborers, the teachers who, with very few exceptions, are fully alive to the
responsibilities of their position, and prove themselves worthy of the important trust
committed to their care.
County of York — South.
Extract from Report of D. Fotheringham, Esq., Inspector.
This inspectorate includes Markham, Scarboro', York, Etobicoke, and part of the
township of Vaughan, with the villages of Stouffville, Markham, East Toronto, Wast
Toronto Junction, Weston and Woodbridge, and the town of Parkdale.
In regard to school sites, I found 28 indequate, and 41 adequate; 10 are under
half an acre, and 34 over that size. Some are nicely ornamented with trees and
flower beds. 760 trees were set out in 1886, and over 1,000 in 1887.
Speaking generally, I may say that in a part of the county longer and more carefully
developed, with a denser population and more intimate acquaintance with the views and
practice of Toronto, the educational centre of Ontario, there are indications of a friend-
liness and liberality towards primary education not found at greater distances, and gLving
good ground of encouragement for the future.
This view is sustained by the fact that 75 per cent, of the school houses are of brick,
most of them recently and substantially constructed ; by the fact that the average salaries
of both male and female teachers are much above the general provincial averages.
When I have named these evidences of superior liberality on the part of trustees
and people in South York, I must make the confession that after having provided superior
schools and a higher percentage of Normal trained and well paid teachers, I do not see
evidence that parents insist upon better attendance or a higher standard of work than
elsewhere.
Out of a school population of 9,444 in 1886 there were 1,678 not enrolled at all,
and the per cent, of those enrolled was forty-seven and one-fifth days out of a hundred
at school ; while in 1887, out of 9,954, 1,690 entered no school, and the average attend-
ance was forty-six and one-seventh of those enrolled.
Neither do I find special watchfulness over the classification of pupils, which of
course lies at the foundation of thorough work and steady progress. In a majority of
schools my record of the standing and work shows that the children are at least one class
in advance of that in which they can do the best work ; and in one school, which I
believe was singular in its classification, I found a large fourth class which could hardly
122
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
do second class work reasonably well. With, however, the introduction of uniform
promotion examinations into which more than 90 per cent, of the teachers have already
cordially entered, this indifference to careful classification may soon be overcome.
In South York, as in nearly all inspectorates, there is a widespread and deepening
feeling that the great inequality of taxation for educational purposes should be remedied.
The prevailing idea seems to be that Township Councils, if not those of Counties, should
be obliged by law to levy a uniform rate within their jurisdiction, sufficient to allow an
annual payment of $150 or $200 to war is the salary of each teacher employed. As
matters now stand, poor sections have to put up with heavy taxes and light teachers.
Little preeminence for South York can be claimed on the score of improved methods
of lighting, heating, and ventilation. The amount of air space as required by law, pro-
vided in South York in 1SS6, was sufficient for about 5,000, out of a popnlation of 9,444
children. The unvarying mode of heating was by stoves in the rooms. No adequate or
rational provision was made for driving out the impure by the regular introduction of
pure air. To the bad effects of over-heated, suddenly changed and usually vile atmo-
sphere of schools the enfeebled health of scores and hundreds may safely be attributed,
rather than to over study and cram work.
Has the time not come when the Legislature may wisely lay down the rule that all
houses built in the future shall have proper arrangements for ventilation and heating.
Till this is done there is little hope that in rural sections generally any improvement iu
this very important matter will take place.
It is gratifying to be able to report that practically all teachers in my inspectorate
avail themselves of the advantages of our half-yearly institutes or conventions, of which
three have been held ; and many are subscribers to educational periodicals.
Tt remains to devise means which shall secure systematic reading, on the part of
teachers generally of professional works, which is not as a rule done now. Were it
possible to have annual examinations on particular works, and a recognition of success at
such examination endorsed upon professional certificates, there would be awakened more
ambition and effort in this direction. Meantime a higher percentage might be required
in such parts of the professional and non-prot'essional course as would develop taste for
such reading.
I regret to state that little has been done so tar to introduce the study of Temper-
ance and Hygiene in our schools, where it seems to me the true foundations of a pure,
temperate and manly manhood should be laid. Were a part of Friday afternoon devoted
to the study and illustration of this subject, it could not fail soon to become popular.
Religious exercises, I am pleased to say, are conducted in all the schools, with two
or three exceptions ; and I am glad to believe that by the earnest and consistent lives of
the great majority of our teachers, the most effective moral training is going on in our
schools from day to day.
District of Algoma.
Extract from Report of D. McCaiy, Esq., Inspector.
As regards school buildings, very considerable progress has been made since my last
report. At Gore Bay, Bruce Mines, Thessalon and Little Current, new, commodious,
well lighted and ventilated school houses have been built. Others are in contem-
plation at Keewatin, Rat Portage, and Michael's Bay, for the coming season. These
schools are all furnished with the most approved styles of desks and seats, and are
generally fairly supplied with maps, blackboards and other necessary appliance-i of the
schoolroom ; in the wealthier rural sections also, desks and seats having all the latest
improvements, are being shipped in from eastern manufacturers, to take the place of
the old fashioned, long, backless benches and clumsy desks.
Ab regards the teaching capabilities of the district, I think it is safe to say very
satisfactory progress is being made, and that, even within the past two years the
123
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
conditions are changed very much for the better. In all the towns and villages, and
in many of the rural sections, there is a strong and increasing desire to secure the
services of Modt'l and Normal (School trained teachers. But even teachers who have
had no other training than that necessary to enable them to pass the local examinations,
enter upon the work of teaching with more certainty of success than formerly. The
Teachers' Institute supplies to them, to some extent, at least, the advantages of those
higher institutions.
Last summer, the trial was made for the first time of subjecting third-class teachers
in the District of Algoma to the same examinations as in other parts of the Province ;
and it is safe to say that there will be no return to special or high school entrance papers,
as the standard of qualification for the teachers of the district. These examinations
.have forced upon the teachers of these new territories, the conviction that something
must be done in order to enter the profession, and have also brought them into more
intimate relations with their fellow teachers of the eastern and older portions of the
province.
As to practical evidence of progress, perhaps the most convincing would be to state
the fact that at the High School entrance examinations of July, 1886, only six candi-
dates, three of these being recommended, were successful throughout the whole district,
while in July, 1887, thirty-six were admitted by the central board. The examinations
were held in both cases at the same points.
As regards school population and the corresponding school attendance, (leaving out
Port Arthur and Sault Ste. Marie, and some half-dozen schools from which returns have
not yet been received) from a reported school population (5 to 21 inclusive), of over
4,000, over 3,600 are reported as having attended school during some portion of the past
year. It may, however, be stated that reports are not yet as full as could be desired,
while in some cases it is difficult to obtain any reports whatever. This drawback is con-
fined almost wholly to the lumbering stations, where trustees are, at the time of the
annual meeting, absent in the lumber woods. The same difficulty is met with where
schools are established along the small railway stations of the C. P. R.
As to teachers and their salaries, I have to report that altogether 95 teachers were
employed in the district during the past year, exclusive of seven employed in the schools
of Port Arthur, and ten teachers of Protestant Indian schools. Of these 95 teachers
employed in the public schools, 18 only are males, and 8 in all have attended one or other
of the provincial Normal schools. One holds a first-class provincial certificate, and ten
have passed the non-professional examinations for second-class, but have not all attended
the Normal School, 10 in all have taught under an interim certificate from the inspector ;
all the others hold certificates from the local board of the district.
As to salaries, over $22,000 has been paid, exclusive of Port Arthur and Sault Ste.
Marie. This, with the amount paid by these towns, would raise the total expenditure
for salaries, to something over $25,000, and the total expenditure for educational pur-
poses in the district during the year 1887, to considerably over $30,000.
With respect to the increase in the number of school sections, it may be stated that
thirteen new sections have been added during the. year. Three of these are on Rainy
River, two in the mining region west of Port Arthur, two on Manitoulin Island, one on
!St. Joseph's Island, one at Schreiber on the C. P. R., and four on the North Shore. Two
of the latter have not yet gone into operation.
Taking, therefore, the present educational condition of the district as a whole, I
think it may safely be said that it is anything but discouraging, and that the pro-
gress in the character of the schools, the qualifications of the teachers and the con-
sequent improvement in methods of teaching, are fully abreast with the other material
progress which the district has made during the past few years.

Extract from Report of Rev. George Grant, Inspector.
School Sections. — Since the beginning of the year six new school sections have-
been formed, making 90 in the district ; in all with the Indian schools, 94 ; five new
school houses built, two of them to replace buildings accidently burnt. In this latter
respect the year has had more than its wonted share of misfortune ; three school
buildings having perished by the flames.
Sclionls in Operation. — Number of schools in operation during the year or part of
the year, was 76. Eleven of the sections have their school houses yet to build. All,
except 2, have their sites chosen, several have the contract let and part of the material
on the ground. Six out of the eleven are the new sections formed this year. There
are only two dead sections in the district, having done nothing since their formation,
some three or four years ago, and these will not be allowed to remain much longer
in their present condition.
Teachers. — The Parry Sound town schools employ six teachers ; Burk's Falls,
two ; Sundridge, two, and the other schools of the district, seventy-two ; the Indian
schools four, in all ei<jhty-six ; but owing to many of the schools engaging their
teacher from mid-summer to midsummer and other incidental changes in the personnel
of the staff, 102 altogether taught in the district this year ; twenty-seven males and
seventy-five females. One held a first-class provincial certificate, three second-class,
tr lined in a Normal School; twenty-seven third-class, Model School trained, and the
remaining district certificates.
Temporary Certificates. — I am happy to be able to report that there is little or
no further need to employ teachers with temporary certificates. Three held temporary
certificates, for a short time in the first half-year, two of whom took regular certificates
at midsummer, the other left the profession altogether One held a temporary in the
second half-year, so that she might finish the term of her engagement.
Examinations — High School entrance examinations, and examinations for teacher's
certificates were held, as in previous years, at Parry Sound and Burk's Falls. Fifteen
passed the entrance ; 8 passed in 1887, and 1 in 1886. So that we are making
encouraging progress in this direction. For teacher's certificate, 39 passe I ; 11 for 3
years ; 12 for 2 years j and 16 for 1 year.
Visits. — I made one visit to all the schools of the district, and a second to 45 of the
more accessible. The constant changing of teachers ; irregularity of attendance, and the
want of a Model School, combine in keeping down the standard of efficiency in our schools.
While some are bad, and more, doubtful, I can nevertheless report that much good work
is done in the district.
Teachers' Institute. — The institute is in a healthy condition and doing the work for
which it is established. From the peculiar configuration of this district, a meeting
of the institute held in the western section is of no value to the teachers in the eastern
section ; similarly a meeting held in the eastern part of the district is out of reach,
and of no use to the teachers in the western part. To bring the institute within reach of
all the teachers, two meetings would require to be held ; one in the eastern and the
other in the western division. We have succeeded in accomplishing this only on one
occasion, viz., when Mr. Tilley was with us in 18S6. "This year, one session of the
institute was held at Burk's Falls, on the 29th and 30th of June. The number of teachers
in attendance was larger than on any previous occasion since my connection with the
district. John Dearness, Esq , inspector of Eist Middlesex, gave valuable help in the
discussion of subjects before the association," and by the delivery of a public lecture in
the court house, on the evening of the first day of the institute. A pleasing feature of
this meeting, one indicating progress, was that the teachers themselves took a prominent
part in the discussions, and other work of the institute.
In consequence of the incorporation of Parry Sound as a town, and its removal
thereby from the list of District Schools proper, the amount of legislative grant per unit
125
25 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
-of average attendance was somewhat larger than in previous years. On the whole,
our schools have been able, with the aid received from both sources, to get on fairly well.
Township School Board*. — Only two townships in the district, McKellar and
Christie, have been under the school board system. McKellar is organized ; Christie is
unorganized. In both of these townships the board has become distasteful to the
ratepayers, Early this season, the council of McKellar passed a by-law for the purpose
of abolishing the school board, and dividing the township in sections. The by-law goes
into operation on the 25th Dec. inst. The rate-payers of Christie are agitating and
petitioning to have their board abolished, but there appears to be no means of doing so
until they obtain township organization.
2. Roman Catholic Separate School Inspection.
Report of J. F. White, Esq., Inspector, Western Division.
The following is a report on the Separate Schools in the Western Division visited by
me this year :
There are in all 123 schools, having 268 teachers, a gain of 1 school and 10 teachers
over the number reported last year. But one new section was organized during the year,
that at Sault Ste. Marie, where the attendance is fairly large, with the prospect of a
speedy increase. The school houses are, in general, comfortable and substantial, while
many, both in town and country, are of a superior character, affording excellent accom-
modation. Considerable has been done during the year in the way of increasing and
improving the accommodation. In rural sections good brick buildings were erected in
6 Arthur and 10 Arthur ; and neat, comfortable houses in 9 Harwich, 6 Artemesia,
and 7 Glenelg. Merritton has provided a respectable, comfortable building of two rooms ;
Niagara Falls has greatly improved its accommodation, while Berlin and Sarnia have
large comfortable buildings of good appearance. Toronto has made very prais worthy
efforts to meet the pressing want of increased accommodation by providing one new school,
and nearly doubling the capacity of two others. In addition, many buildings have under-
gone extensive repairs rendering them comfortable and respectable. Thus it may be seen
that very substantial progress has been made in this direction during the year. There
remain, in this division, eight or ten log or frame buildings in a somewhat dilapidated
condition, that must of necessity soon be replaced by suitable structures. The trustees
■of several of these sections have given me assurance that they are making preparations to
build within a short time, and in but two or three cases does there appear an unwillingness
to comply with the regulations in this respect.
The improvement in the furniture and equipment keeps pace with that in the build-
ings, new maps, large blackboards and improved desks having been provided in many
schools, and in this respect their equipment is now good in general. In but few schools
are there libraries, though such as exist are reported to be well patronized by the children,
with marked benefit. When the schools shall have become somewhat relieved of the
heavy debts incurred within the last few years for building, a special effort will be made
to get them to provide suitable libraries.
Usually the school grounds are of fair size, though most of them might, with decided
advantage, be larger. They are not, commonly, well furnished with shade trees or
beautified with flowers or shrubs. The opportunity afforded by Arbor Day for making
improvement in this respect has not been taken advantage of year by. year by many
school?. Some improvement is confidently looked for next year.
The attendance, registered and average, as given elsewhere in this report, shows a
fair increase for the year. But there exists a wide difference in the statements for the
different places. Of the towns in this division, Paris is credited with the highest average
attendance, 74 per cent., while Sarnia has an attendance of only 39 per cent., 61 per cent,
being the average of all the towns. Stratford has the best record of average attendance
among the cities, shewing 63 per cent., while Brantford falls to 40 per cent., the average
standing at 57 percent. The rural schools shew, for them, a pretty regular attendance,
ihe average being 51 per cent., while for the whole Province, including Public and
126
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
Separate Schools, it is 47 per cent. It varies greatly in different counties, Bruce having
an average of 62 per cent., the highest of any in the Province, and Essex coming lowest
with but 37 per cent. It would seem that earnest, systematic effort on the part of all
interested in school work should be able to make some substantial increase in the average
attendance in many places.
In some cases the grading of che pupils is not so satisfactory as could be wished for.
Frequently too many divisions are made for the number of teachers employed ; at times
pupils are promoted before they are properly qualified. It has not been found possible to
remedy this by the one means that should prove most satisfactory — uniform promotion
examinations — as the diversity of text books is too great an obstacle. This difference
is true not alone of different schools, but also of the classes in the one school. In such
subjects as reading, history, grammar and geography, there are often two, and some-
times three, series of books in use in one school. Some action that would tend to
uniformity in books, would be welcomed by teachers and parents and would greatly benefit
the schools.
Of the 206 teachers in this division, 17-1 are members of some religious teaching
order; of the rest, about one-half are holders of first and second class certificates, a Eew
have temporary certificates, and the rest are third class teachers. Fair average salaries
are paid in most of the schools, though there is room for an upward movement in some
cases. In comparison with the Eastern Division, the male teachers in the West receive
over 20 per cent., and the female teachers over 30 per cent, of an advance. The schools
suffer, however, from too frequent change of teachers. On my round of inspection, 68
teachers were found who had been appointed this year, over 25 changes having taken place
subsequently. Taking this as an average year, it is found that in more then one-third of
the schools the teachers change yearly, to the serious loss of education in many cases. It is
much to be regretted that there is not more permanency in the profession for the sake of
teachers and pupils alike. As a body the teachers are well qualified for their difficult
task and are working earnestly and successfully.
French is taught in 13 departments, and German in 19, in addition to the ordinary
work in English. The teachers who have charge of these classes are usually very well
qualified in both languages, and are meeting with good success in their hard task. In
nearly all cases the pupils' work in English was most satisfactory, the exceptions being
in a few classes of young pupils whose knowledge of spoken English was somewhat
limited, as they knew only their mother tongue on first coming to school. In several of
these departments the work in English compared most favorably with that in schools;
where but one language is found.
The several subjects of the school programme are taught with good results in
general. There are two, however, that do not yet receive that attention which their'
importance merits. Music is usually confined to the singing of note songs, with Kinder-
garten or exercise songs for the junior classes ; but in several schools the pupils are not
taught singing of any kind. Stratford and Toronto are about the only places where a
systematic effort is made to teach music ; the classes are under special instructors of
ability and experience, and are making gratifying progress. Drawing has been somewhat
neglected in many schools, especially in the junior classes. This has come from the fact
that it was regarded as of little real value in comparison with some other subjects, or
because the teacher had no great taste for teaching it. In many schools, howev er, th
subject is well and intelligently taught in all the divisions.
The preparation of pupils for the Entrance Examination to High Schools is usually
made the limit in the schools in this division ; but Amherstburg. Hamilton and Toronto,
do more advanced work. In Toronto the boys of the high classes are given an excellent
training in the different branches of a commercial education, fitting them to assume
responsible positions on graduating, and the girls take the courses prescribed for Third and
Second Class Non-professional Certificates. The Toronto school this year passed, as
usual, a fair number at the Teachers' Examination.
I am pleased to be able to report that the Separate Schools of this District ar«
healthy in tone and are making substantial progress.
Toronto, December, 1888.

Report of Cornelius Donovan, Esq., M.A., Inspector, Eastern Division.
Sir, — I have the honor of submitting the following general report on the schools of
the Eastern Division for the year 1888 : —
1 — Exchange of Districts.
According to your instructions, 1 made an exchange of territory with Inspector
White on the 1st of January of this year ; consequently, although I went over part of
this district in 1885, the inspection just completed comprises my first visit to the eastern
schools as a body. I may say that, as most of these schools are situated in the vicinity
of railway lines, the work of visiting them presents no extraordinary difficulty. The
classes of eight teachers, enumerated below, were visited in January by Inspector White
at his own desire. Besides these there are two schools not visited at all, chiefly on
account of their comparatively recent establishment. Following are the figures : —
2 — Statistical.
Number of school buildings 112
it ii teachers 248
ii ii pupils enrolled 12,052
ii n classes visited 237
:i ii miles travelled 4,500
3 — As to the Buildings.
Most of the 112 are well built schools, yet there are some places, towns in particu-
lar, where the extent and character of the buildings are not in keeping with the status
of those places. To these, attention has been called in the " Inspector's Detailed Special
Reports " to the Department. It might be beneficial if all school boards would
remember that, besides comfort and convenience, there are several educative advantages
to be derived to the pupils from a properly built school house.
jj. — Ventilation of the Rooms.
In the matter of ventilation, the schools recently built have facilities more or less
scientific ; most of the others have as good ventilation as can be obtained from the use
of windows. As so much depends on the presence of pure air in the class rooms, teachers
cannot be too strongly impressed with the importance of ventilating their schools
regularly and frequently. In building schools, trustees should know that there is no>
branch of the accommodations more requisite than the means of good ventilation.
5 — Lighting and Heating.
Facilities for lighting, though not often of a strictly scientific character, are gener-
ally good. Besides its utility in the performance of work, plenty of light has also its
hygienic value, among which are its cheering effects on the mind, and the disinfecting
power of the direct rays of the sun. Teachers and trustees are no doubt aware of these
facts, but many act as if proper light were a matter of little consequence. In the matter
of heating there is little fault to be found.
6 — How the Rooms are Furnished.
As a rule it was only in new and poor sections that I found the old style, awkward
long desk and bench. The majority of the authorities seem to have practically recog-
nized the superiority, in both use and appearance, of the more modern furniture. With
few exceptions, the schools were found in possession of good maps, but globes were com-
paratively scarce. Blackboards were found, for the most part, of good quality, but were
often too limited in quantity. Not a few schools have sets of useful charts, and while
some have good libraries it is a matter of regret that they are not more numerous.
128
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
7 — As to the Playgrounds.
The playgrounds are generally large enough and well kept, but in some towns
(where they are most needed) the grounds are limited in extent. Several schools observe
Arbor Day. If all did so, it would, in my opinion, be highly beneficial, as serving to
improve the character of the premises and to cultivate the childrens' taste. Properly
constructed, duly separated and well kept private accommodations for the sexes should be
invariably provided. Comparatively few are very remiss in this respect, but no matter
how few, the number is necessarily too great. The water supply was' often found
inconvenient and scarce.
S — What the Pupils are Doing.
Ability on the part of the pupils to perform work thoughtfully, intelligently and in
good style, both orally and in writing, is one of the best proofs of the high standing of a
school. A mere recitation of memorized facts should not count for much. For this
reason the work of inspection was so conducted that, while endeavoring to ascertain the
extent of the pupils' knowledge, I sought more particularly to discover how they could
exercise reason and judgment and make a practical application of the knowledge in their
possession. In the majority of cases this test obtained satisfactory results.
All the subjects of the authorized school programme are as a rule duly treated. As
I proceeded in the work I took the liberty of emphasizing language lessons (including
grammar and composition), not only in their regular place on the time table, but also, as
far as practicable, in all the class exercises. As the pupil advances the benefits of
this practice, steadily sustained, will be seen in his increasing ability to express himself,
readily, confidently and in good form, one of the most valuable of his accomplishments.
In the subject of reading, most of the classes exhibited a respectable degree of effi-
ciency. The chief point to which attention had to be called, was the importance of
making the reading lesson attractive and pleasant, rather than a task. Reading is said
to be a fine art, but in my opinion its chief value lies in its being a means to an end ;
give a boy a taste for reading, and you furnish him with the means of educating himself,
especially in after life.
In arith emetic, while many classes were found unusually strong, many others
showed considerable weakness in point of practical work. The fundamental rules should
not be passed over hurriedly. When thoroughly mastered in all their varieties of com-
bination, the rest of the ordinary principles of arithmetic will be found comparatively
easy.
The quality of the writing was ascertained, especially in the higher forms, not so
much from the copies as from the work done on ordinary paper, comprising letters,
business forms, etc., and with very fair results. In several cases the character of the
work was excellent. At a time when most of the pupils are about to leave school, the
writing exercises should be conducted with the view of meeting the exigencies of actual
life.
History and geography are popular subject?, and on the whole are well handled.
The plan of making them associate subjects is especially pleasing to junior pupils and
beneficial to all. Drawing is also in general favor, the books in use being for the most
part the authorized series.
Commercial work does not receive as much attention as it s"hould outside the larger
places. In these, however, particularly in the advanced classes, excellent work was
shown. The importance of this branch was emphasized when necessary, and it is
expected that in the future it will everywhere receive due attention.
9 — About the Teachers.
At the time of my visit there were 46 male and 202 female teachers. Most of the
teachers are abreast of the times, earnest, faithful, painstaking and thoroughly alive to
the interests of their profession. I learned that those who could do so, regularly
attended the county institutes, and for those who could not attend, I managed to hold
several teachers' meetings for similar purposes.
129
52 Victoria Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
While the salary of a male teacher reached, in one case, $850, and that of a female
teacher $400, many of the salaries were found very low. It is true that some sections
cannot pay more than they are paying, but it is equally true that there are others
that can, without much difficulty, pay their teachers higher salaries.
10 — Primary Teaching.
Within the memory of living teachers there was a common tradition among school
authorities that any teacher, however inexperienced or incapable, was good enough for
a primary class. The consequences were that the development of child nature was slight
or erroneous, and the progress of little children was slow and labored. Now, however,
it has come to be generally recognized that the teacher most versatile in talent, fertile in
resource, and gifted with an engaging manner, is the one best suited to conduct a primary
class. The proof of this remark is seen in the increased percentage of well trained boys and
girls that annually graduate from our schools. It is in the primary class that the educa-
cational foundation is laid, and more than any other foundation it should be thoroughly
laid in order to sustain a good superstructure.
11 — Examinations.
In November I issued a miscellaneous examination paper, principally designed for
the fourth form, to all the schools in this division, and hereafter I intend to issue, at
semi-annual intervals, a paper for forms II., III. and IV. in some one of the subjects of
the school programme. The objects are to excite emulation, to promote efficiency in
written work, and to keep all the schools working according to a uniform standard.
Public examinations are usually held twice a year by the teachers themselves. These,
when properly conducted, are productive of much good. It is a matter of regret that
parents and others concerned in the education of the children do not attend more numer-
ously, as their presence would, in nearly every case, be a mark of encouragement to both
pupils and teachers.
12 — Signs of Progress.
This being my first year in the Eastern Division, I am not in a position to make
comparisons with the status of former years, but, as far as I observed, the general
tendency appeared to be " upward and onward." New schools are going up, old
premises are being renovated and enlarged, additional teachers being engaged and new
sections in course of formation. While being able at present to give, on the whole, a
good account of the eastern schools, I feel satisfied that my next report will exhibit a
marked*advance in general proficiency.

First Half-yearly Visit.
1. On the 14th of June No. 6 Board School, on the Council House Line, near the
Oneida boundary, was visited. Day fine, a little hazy. A few fields of winter wheat
looked promising ; spring crops backward. The same teacher here as at the time of my
last visit — Miss Sarah Latham, trained in the Mohawk Institute, and holding a High
130
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
School Entrance Certificate ; salary $250. t The house, a new one, was described fully in
my last report. Nice set of tablets added to the equipment, and pictured cards to illus-
trate Scripture lessons. A good well has been provided, worked by a windlass. There
were 16 children in attendance, all in tirst and second classes. The second class, two in
number, read fairly well ; spelling and arithmetic middling. Can do a little lon» division,
but need more drill in the preceding rules. Writing good, geography fair. In the tirst
class (14) reading fair, spelling and arithmetic good ; order good. Proficiency not quite
up to the mark of last year, due probably to the fact that several who had left the Stone
Ridge Mission School to go to the new one have (the novelty gone) returned to their
former places. It is proposed, I understand by the Board, to build a new school house
near Beaver's Corners for the accommodation of the south-eastern section of the Reserve

9. Thomas School (a Band School).— Teacher, Mr. John Miller (white) ; salary $450
per annum, Nothing has been added here since my last visit except some trees planted
in the spring. The equipment consists of a clock, two maps of the World, map of On-
tario, of United States, of North-west Canada, and tablets. New globe needed, new
furniture and, indeed, a new house. On roll 61, present 40, in four classes. The tablet

can do problems in vulgar fractions, decimals and percentage. A member of this class
(Alfred Styres) has, since the inspection of the school, successfully passed the Entrance
Examination at Brantford, which is conclusive evidence of the thoroughness of the work
done in this school.

the Indian schools generally good.
Second Half-yearly Visit.
I. The first visit was made to school number 8, near Kenyengeh Church on the after-
noon of August 30th, but the school was found closed, a church or Sunday-school pic-nic
being held in the grove adjacent to the church and at which the children of this and other
schools were assembled. On the 5th November this school was again visited and found
•closed, a colored man being in possession and engaged in whitewashing the walls. The
outhouses and grounds were inspected and found in a satisfactory state. On examining
the register 23 names were found recorded, and the number present in the forenoon was
14. Anew register was left for the teacher. A subsequent visit was pud the 26 th
November, it being impossible that day to reach number 9 owing to the impassable sta te
of the bridge across the Boston creek, and the great distance (about 16 miles) by an y
•other route that day practicable. 12 pupils were present in 4 classes. There was not
133
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
time to make a thorough examination of the school ; except a supply of new readers no
addition had been made to the equipment since my previous visit. The order was (good
and attendance reported regular. Miss Maggie Davis is still the teacher and seems to
be doing satisfactory work.
II. No. 6 Board School. — This school was inspected on the 27th November, number
on the roll 19, present 6. Whooping cough prevalent in the neighborhood. Miss Latham
(Indian) teacher. The reading, spelling and arithmetic of the 2nd class (3 present) "fair,''
writing, " good." The first class (3 present) also did fairly. The schoolroom, a fine
spacious one, was warm and comfortable, though the day was chilly and the ground,
white with snow, floor and desks clean, children tidy. The school yard and closets in
good order. Oliver and Boyd's object lesson cards, which are found in several of these
schools, would be a boon to this. The Ten Commandments are taught twice a week.
Order good.
III. Stone Ridge School. (Methodist Mission School.) — Miss Amelia Chickhock
(Indian) still teacher here. Number enrolled 21, present 14. Two families have recently
left the neighborhood. Maps of Ontario, Dominion and World on the walls. There is a
small clock, new stove, new Ontario readers and grammar, drawing books. They purpose
building a wood-house soon, also a porch to the house and closets on the grounds. The 3rd
class (3 present) were examined in reading, spelling, arithmetic, grammar, literature (of
lessons) and geography. Eeading good, spelling " fair," literature do.; in geography they
know fairly maps of the world and Canada; just beginning grammar. The 2nd class (2
present) about on a par with the 3rd in the same subjects. The writing slightly better,
the reading and spelling of the senior class "fair," of the junior "good." Drawing "fair,"
order " good." I recommended the teacher to introduce "phonics" in the teaching of
reading, as I have others, satisfied that the results would prove advantageous.
IY. No. 10 Board School. — Mr. John Dickers (Indian) teacher. This school was-
inspected 28th November. Enrolled 38, present 18. The attendance, the teacher says,
falls off in the fall and winter. In 5th class (1) reading, spelling, literature and arith-
metic " good," grammar and geography "fair." 3rd class (5 present), average age 10.
Results of examination similar to those of 5th class. 2nd class (3 present.) The read-
in«, spelling, literature and knowledge of numbers here satisfactory. First class does
well. Writing generally good, books clean, order good, small press for slates and books
ruled.
V. Red Line School. (Methodist Mission School.) — Miss Hyndman (white) teacher
Enrolled 25, present 8. This school is not what it should be. The teacher's vision and
I fancy, her hearing too, are defective, but I believe she tries to do her duty honestly
4th class (1 present), reading, spelling, geography, literature, "fair," arithmetic and
grammar "bad." The 3rd class (1 present) has a like record. The first and second
classes were examined with fair results. It ought be said that there was no school dur-
ing the last part of September and the first week in October owing to an epidemic of
Scarlatina, of which several children died. There is only one chair in the school. The
writing and drawing of the pupils might be much improved.
VI. No. 7 Board School, (known as Strong's School). — Miss Sarah Russell, (Indian)
teacher — a girl of 19 years. She passed the entrance examination from the Mohawk
Institute and attended the classes of the Brantford Collegiate Institute for one year.
Nothing new added to the equipment. Everything about the schoolroom satisfactory.
Teacher neat in her dress and speaks English weD. The reading was in too low a tone.
I advised the teacher to make a change and to make the children understand what they
read. 33 names on roll, 18 pupils present, in four classes ; 4th class (1 present) ; read-
ing "fair," spelling, "good," arithmetic and grammar "inferior." 3rd class (1 present).
Result of examination precisely the same as that of 4th class. The 2nd class does better,
and the first fairly well. Order "good." This school was inspected the 6th November.
VII. No. 8 Board School, (known sometimes as Smith's School.) — Miss Sarah Davis,
(Indian) teacher. This school was inspected the 5th November. Enrolled 34, present
14. Man/ of the children were engaged in gathering roots and apples, the day being
134
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A 1889
fine. Five classes in the school ; the 3rd, 4th and 5th had 2 pupils each, the 1st and 2nd
4 each. The reading, writing and spelling of all were good, the arithmetic and grammar
"fair." Nothing new added to the equipment. Schoolroom clean, order good. On the
way down the Ohippewa line, the wheat, of which a good deal had been sown, was looking
green and healthy.
VIII. No. 2 Board School, (Council House School). — Miss Maracle, teacher. The
state of the building and grounds satisfactory, except that there is some plaster off the
walls in the school-room. 25 pupils present in 5 classes. In the 5th class (1 present),
the reading, spelling, writing, grammar and arithmetic "good." In the 4th clas?
(6 present), the results of the examination in the same subjects were " fair." In the 3rd
••lass (3 present) the reading, spelling and writing were "good," the arithmetic " fair."
The 2nd class (10 present) did badly, the 1st class (5 present) fairly. The order
was " good."
IX. The Thomas School. Mr. John Miller, (White) teacher. This school was inspected
the 28th November, the day cloudy, the roads muddy, the fall wheat under a light
covering of snow, looking remarkably well. 27 enrolled, 19 present, in four classes. Id
the 4th class (2 present) the reading and spelling " good," the literature " fair," arith-
metic " excellent," can do different problems in percentages, grammar " good," can ana-
lyze and parse correctly. 3rd class (4 present) reading and spelling " good," " fair " in
other subjects. 1st and 2nd classes do " fair" work. No desks for pupils yet. No
chairs for teacher and visitors. More blackboard accommodation needed, also the new
Ontario tablets.
X. Mi8sissagua School, (Methodist Mission School, near Hagersville.) — This school
was inspected November 6th. Miss Murray, teacher. Enrolled 36, present 23, in 4
classes. 4th class was examined in reading, spelling, literature, grammar, arithmetic,
doing good work in all. The 3rd class (3 present) was examined in the same subjects
with good results. The 2nd class (3 present) was examined in spelling, reading and
arithmetic, and did fairly well. The 1st class does fairly. The methods of this teacher
are good, the management and order excellent. Except the new Ontario readers, noth-
ing had been added to equipment since my last visit. There has been some talk of
changing the site of this school, removing it to the Council House Grounds, about a mile
further northwest on the Chippewa line, but at a recent meeting of the male members of
the Band, a vote being taken, there were two to one against the change.
No. 9 Board School. — On the Garlaw line, at the boundary between Tuscarora and
Oneida. This school was visited on the 26th November, 13 present. The day was cold,
stormy and very disagreeable. The reading, spelling, and writing of the 4th class, good,
the literature and 'grammar, inferior. The work of the 5th class (1 present) was about
equal to that of the 4th. The 3rd class (3 present) and the 2nd (5 present) did very fair
work, as also did the first. Order, good. On the afternoon of the day I tried to reach
the school on the Delaware line, but owing to the destruction of the bridge across the
Boston Creek, I failed to do so. The schools in Tuscarora are, on the whole, doing fair
work, which might, of course, be improved by the employment of more efficient and
experienced teachers.

Saugeen and Cape Croker Reserves.
Visited Saugeen May 3rd and 4th, also October 9th and 10th ; Cape Croker May 8th
and 9th, also September 26th and 27th.
The aggregate attendance at Saugeen the first visit was 37 and the second 21, classi-
fied as follows— Part I., 8 ; Part II., 8 ; Second, 6 ; Third, 4 ; Fourth, 2 ; and the at-
tendance at Cape Croker was 42 the first and 41 the second visit, divided thus — Part L,
8 ; Part II., 10 ; Second, 12 ; Third, 8 ; Fourth, 3.
135
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
At Saugeen we had three whites as teachers ; all Third Class standing. At the
beginning of the year there were two changes in teachers and one during the year.
At Cape Croker there were two Indian teachers and one white ; none higher than
Entrance standing. Two changes of teachers at the beginning of the year and two
during the year.
The discipline and management of all the schools on Cape Croker Reserve were good.
Two of the schools have prospered satisfactorily, but the third one has not been so fortu-
nate, having had two changes of teachers during the twelve months. In two of the schools
of Saugeen Reserve the discipline, management and progress have been good, but in the
third one only fair.
With reference to repairs and furnishings the Cape Croker Reserve has been kept in
fair condition, but on Saugeen Reserve I can scarcely report so favorably.
The Indian Department consented to loan money in lieu of annuity to such indi-
viduals as were likely to be benefited thereby, for the purpose of prosecuting their educa-
tion outside of the Reserve, and the responsibility of determining who were tit and proper
persons was thrown upon the inspector. Five persons made application, but only two were
recommended. The inspector decided that Entrance standing and good moral character
would be the basis of his recommendation.
W. H. Colles, Esq., Inspector, East Kent.
Indian Schools on the Moravian Reservation.
The Moravian Mission School was visited in the afternoon, as their school hours differ
from those of the Public Schools, their school day being from 8.30 a.m., until 1.30 p.m.,
without recess. This is sometimes shortened to from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. ; the terms and
vacations are the same as are laid down for the Public Schools. With this time system
the school makes excellent progress, all things considered. There are eighteen pupils
registered, nine of these being registered since mj former visit. The ages of these child-
ren range from seven to sixteen. There were fourteen present, classified as follows : — In
I. class, five ; in II. class, five; in III. class, three; and in IV. class, one. In the studies
on the Public School course, they compare favorably with the children in many of the
white schools ; in the mechanical parts of the work such as writing and drawing they are
more apt than in reading and arithmetic ; they answer creditably in geography and they
spell correctly. I observe that they have a remarkable capacity and penchant for "gum
mastic," which they chew with a fluency and grace that would put any ruminant to the
blush.
Miss Miller, the teacher of this school, takes great pains to overcome their difficulties
in arithmetic, introducing questions in number whenever an opportunity occurs, and she
always asks questions, receives answers and gives explanations fully in words, even where
a gestuie or other indication might be used, in order to make the children familiar with
the English language, and the girls are taught to sew and knit. Mrs. Hartman, wife of
the Moravian minister, teaches them to sing, and the school is furnished with a cabinet
organ. Miss Miller reports the children very honest about their work which, however,
she attributes to indifference as to whether they are right or wrong. In method of dis-
cipline they are treated with gentleness, and, indeed, any harshness towards them would
drive them into the woods for an indefinite period. The school, however, is quite orderly,
and the progress quite satisfactory, and the accommodations are quite satisfactory.
The Reserve School. — This school is now in charge of Mr. Ernest Littlejohns, who
holds a II. class certificate, and is gold medallist of Toronto Normal School, 1887. Mr.
Littlejohns is a very efficient teacher ; enthusiastic, as a rule, thoroughly competent — and
thoroughly disgusted. The world, as it appears to him from this place, revolves on its
axis once in 2400 hours, or more ; the poetry and romance of the situation are entirely
wasted upon him. He has, however, a good attendance ; there are fifty registered, and
thirty-four were present though the day was very wet ; these were about evenly divided
136
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
between I and II classes and one was in IV class preparing for entrance examination.
Owing to the recent change of teachers, and to the fact that most of these children have
been a long time absent from school, I cannot observe much improvement, but I am con-
vinced that Mr. Littlejohns is doing good work, and that if he continue as he is doing he
will raise the standing of the school. His school is orderly and is well equipped.
Charles A. Barnes, Esq., Inspector, East Lambton.
J Hdian Schools at Kettle and Stoney Points.
First Visit.
I visited the Indian School at Kettle Point on 23rd May, and found fifteen scholar
present, classified as follows : — I. part, 1st book, ten; II. part, 1st book, two; 2nd book
2 ; 3rd book, none ; 1th book, one.
The school is in very fair condition. The greatest defect seems to be that in reading
the pupils do not enunciate words clearly. The writing, spelling, and arithmetic, fairly
done.
I find that some are now without copy books. The supply provided has been
exhausted, and I hope this will be remedied in time for the beginning of the next term.
A small map of the County of Lambton, which can be obtained at D. McMaster's,
Sarnia, for fifty cents, would be a great convenience to the teacher in teaching local
geography.
In my last report I asked for some improvement in the blackboard ; but so far noth-
ing has been done. It is very desirable that this should be attended to as soon as
possible.
Stoney Point.
The building on this Reserve has not been completed. I paid a visit to the Reserve
and ascertained that the contract had been awarded and the building would be completed
for the next term. I am glad that such is the case, as there are (I am informed) some
eighteen or twenty children who would attend if the school was in operation.
Second Visit.
Kettle Point. — The School on this Reserve has a roll of twelve pupils for the present
quarter with an average attendance of seven or eight, and is taught by Mr. H. Johnston.
The reading in each class is very monotonous and indistinct ; writing and spelling very
good ; arithmetic fair, but scarcely as good as it should be ; geography not »ood. The
attendance is very irregular, and progress is almost impossible when pupils are frequently
absent.
Wants. — The stovepipe is unsafe ; the fire frequently falls through to the floor.
Blackboard to be enlarged, broom wanted, also map of Lambton.
I reported before that copy books were wanted, but they have not yet been provided.
Thet eacher has endeavored to get pupils to supply their own, but so far without success.
Stoney Point. — A new school house has been erected and is* nearly completed. The
platform is too large ; four feet in width and across the end of the room, is quite sufficient. A
blackboard should be put across north end of building, and on one side between the windows.
Eight or ten double desks for the children, and a teacher's desk, will be required, and
a couple of chairs.
The maps, and other equipment that may be necessary, will be reported after the
school opens in January.
As this school has been closed for some time on account of no building bein^ provided,
I trust that the next Report will be more satisfactory, and that some plan may be devised
to secure regularity of attendance of those children for whom the school has been
established.

Indian Schools on Walpole Island and Sarnia Reserve.
I visited No. 1, Walpole Island, on May 21st, and found fourteen boys and six girls
present, two white children from the saw mill had come in that day, but they could do no
work. Peter Thomas (Indian) now has charge of the school. He has attended Sarnia
Model School as a pupil, but could not pass the entrance examination. His English is
fair, but he gives most of his commands in Indian, a practice which, I have told him, he
must give up.
There were six boys and four gilds in the first part of the 1st book, in three classes.
Those who can read, did so more distinctly than usual ; spelling was good, and writing very
good.
In the second part of the 1st book there were five boys and two girls. The reading
was fair, spelling good, writing very good, and arithmetic middling ; but the teacher kept
telling the pupils too much, and they did not speak plainly. There were no pupils of the
second class present, but I examined their copy-books, and saw on their slates the arithmetic
of the day before, and both were well done.
The third class consisted of two boys and one girl. The reading and writing were
good, spelling better and arithmetic (division) fair ; geography and composition have
scarcely been begun. There has been considerable improvement in their speaking.
The desks in this school are set against the walls, and the child sitting next the wall
lounges against it. There are no fences, and no privies ; the latter should be provided as
soon as possible.
The largest attendance this year was twenty-nine.
Walpole Island No. 2, was visited on the afternoon of the same day. There were
fourteen boys and fourteen girls present under the charge of William Peters (Indian).
Mr. Peters has tried to pass the entrance examination, but except in reading, writing and
spelling, did not come near passing. Yet he can do fair fourth class arithmetic.
In the first part of the 1st book there were six boys and and five girls. Reading
good, spelling good, but writing not so good as I have seen in this class. Most of them
can count in English and add a little.
The class in second part of the 1st book consisted of six boys and seven girls. Reading
and writing good, spelling not quite so good, arithmetic (subtraction) fair. Pupils do
not speak well out.
Second class, two boys and two girls. Reading not good ; they speak through their
teeth ; spelling, writing and arithmetic only fair, geography good. The drawing of the
small children was good. Scripture lesson read by second class and second part, not
very well done.
The third and fourth classes were not represented at all. The latter now consists of
but one girl.
The school-house and yard were neat and clean. The desks have been moved from
the wall, but the long forms with backs are too high for the little ones.
The school on the Sarnia Reserve was visited on the 1st instant. Eight boys and
nine girls were present under the charge of John J. Millikin (Indian). Mr. Millikin
passed the entrance examination and has attended the Sarnia High School for about a
year.
In the first part of the 1st book there were three boys and one girl. The reading
was good, they could spell orally and on the book, wrote a little, could count some, but
could not add.
In the second part of the 1st book there were three boys and five girls. Their read-
ing was indistinct, the spelling was bad, addition and multiplication were well done, but
subtraction was not, writing was good, but the books not so carefully kept as usual.
The second class consisted of one boy and a girl. They read more distinctly, but
did not spell well, writing was good, but arithmetic was only middling.
Two boys and one girl formed the third class. The reading was good, spelling
correct, writing good. The boy's drawing was good, and his arithmetic (addition of
138
25 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
fractions) correct, he knew the geography of Ontario and British Columbia fairly well,
but the girls were not so well up in these subjects.
The attendance was highest on January 18th, 37 being present of the 39 on the roll.
The lowest attendance was six, and the average 17, the same as on the day of my visit.
The woodshed, which also serves as a porch, had the accumulated sweepings of the
winter lying in a corner, but the teacher promised to have them removed. The platform
and steps at the door need repairs, as do the gates and privies, and the latter need clean-
ing out.
I think fair work is being done in the school and the children will, soon be able to
speak English well. The presence of hve or six half-breeds helps them greatly.
I am still strongly in favor of having these schools taught by Indians, as the advan-
tage of being able to give explanations in the language of the pupils is apparent to any
one who considers the matter, but some say — and there is often too much truth in the
statement — the Indian is lazy and does not train in earnest hard work. When No. 1,
Walpole, was taught by an excellent teacher who knew no Indian, the contrast was strongly
in favor of the man in No. 2 who could not pass the entrance examination.
R. Geo. Scott, Esq., Inspector, Renfrew.
Golden Lake and Widdifield.
No. 1, Golden Lake School. — I visited this school twice during the year, on June
2nd, and November 16th.
First visit. — Pupils enrolled, 20 ; boys, 8, girls, 12 ; classified thus : 5 in First Book
Part I ; 7 in First Book Part II ; 2 in Second Book, and G in Third Book. Number
present, G ; boys, 2, girls, 4 ; classified thus : 3 in First Book Part 1 ; 2 in First Book
Part II, and 1 in Third Book.
The girl in the Third Book read very creditably, and understood what she read, pro-
bably as well as an average English speaking pupil. She could work the simple rules
well, and was learning the tables of weights and measures. Her writing in No. 3 copy-
book was good.
Those in First Book Part II, read the words with facility, but pronounced them
very indistinctly, and had little, if any, idea of what they were reading about — learning
subtraction, writing on slates.
There were two, maps, one of a portion of the Dominion, by Johnston of Edinburgh,
1881, the other of the World, on Mercator's projection, both unsuitable or useless for
school purposes.
I recommended through the Indian Agent that proper maps of the Dominion and the
World should be furnished. At my second visit however I found that two maps identically
the same as those already in the school had been supplied. In writing to the Indian A<*ent
after my second visit, among other things I called his attention to this fact. I shall
shortly see him personally, and if nothing has been done in the matter, I shall take
further steps regarding it. Geography is a study that could be made very interesting
and instructive for these children.
Second visit. — Pupils enrolled, 1G ; boys, 7, girls, 9. Classification: 7 in First
Book Part I ; 3 in First Book Part II ; 3 in Second Book, and 3 in Third Book. Pupils
present : 4, all girls. Classified : 2 in First Book Part I ; 1 in First Book Part II, and
1 in Third Book.
The school had been closed for four weeks after the summer vacation, owinc to an
outbreak of diphtheria on the reserve. Thirteen children had died of it, four of whom
were pupils of the school.
The morning of my visit was cold and wintry, over six inches of snow had fallen
the previous day. There was not a spark of fire in the stove, nor a stick of wood around
the school to light a fire. It was too cold to take off my cape or overcoat, so I merely
139
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
got some statistics from the teacher and told her to dismiss the little ones. I spoke to
one ot" the men near the school about the want of wood, and he said they were then
arranging for a bee next day to get a supply.
The teacher has some knowledge of the Indian language, and is diligent and attentive
in the discharge of her duties.
No. 2, Township of Widdifield. — This school is on the Reserve some three or four
miles above North Bay in the District of Ni pissing.
I visited it on the lot December, and found that it had been closed since June, the
teacher, Miss Mary Ricord, having then left, as she was unable to get a suitable boarding
house. She had taught there, as I learned, since August, 1886.
The school house is a well built, comfortable log building, neatly finished inside, and
furnished with improved desks, teachers' desk and chairs.
I also learned that about fifteen children attended the school.
I had never visited this school before, and was not aware of its existence till January
last, when I was informed by Inspector McLean that he had visited it, under the im-
pression that it was in the Parry Sound District.
J. S. Carson, Esq., Inspector, West Middlesex.
Mount Elgin Industrial Institution.
First Visit. — As you may observe, the buildings, grounds and equipment are
adequate to the requirement of these schools, but the attendance and teaching outside of
the Industrial Institution are very much in arrears.
In my opinion the Indian Department would act wisely in making it imperative that
every teacher in those schools should hold a third class certificate, and that the agent and
myself be wholly responsible for the selection of teachers. As it is, only one out of four
has passed the entrance examination. How can the schools do well 1 Of course, Joseph
Fisher may be excepted as he is doing the best work on the Reserve, and he has been
urged frequently to qualify, which he may yet do for his own benefit.
For $250 or $275 a year, perhaps less, this plan could be carried out, and I hope it
will receive the consideration it deserves from the authorities.
Second visit. — There are now sixty -four children in attendance, most of these have
had a very inferior training, consequently they are poorly prepared when they enter the
Institution.
It is utterly impossible for one teacher to do anything like justice to so many, in
fact the ablest educator of my acquaintance would fail under these circumstances.
Two teachers skilled, energetic and active, are required to overtake the work of the
school, and should be secured as quickly as possible. The present master is painstaking
and devoted to his work, but his burden is too heavy ; he should have a competent assist-
ant worth $275 a year.
Another room should be made ready for the assistant, the equipment will not cost
much, the desks being the main expense.
I hope the Indian Department will consider these suggestions at an early date,
and that steps will be promptly taken to make this Institution adequate to the work
required of it.
James McBrien, Esq., Inspector, Ontario.
Indian School, Township of Rama.
The school is taught by Miss Lizzie Staples, who holds a Third Class Professional,
and a Second Non-Professional Certificate. She has succeeded in introducing Industrial
Education. The girls are learning to make several articles of their own clothing. The
140
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889-
parents take much interest in the good work. The ladies belonging to the Christian
Union take a lively interest in the new education, and kindly supply the materials. I
think this introduction of Industrial Education is a step in the right direction.
The number of pupils on the roll, 34 ; and the number present, 25. The average
attendance for the term, 22.
The regularity of attendance is gradually increasing, as sound discipline is gently
subjecting all to attention, order, obedience and industry.
The Indian Council now cooperates heartily with the teacher.

Rev. Thomas McK.ee, Inspector, South Simcoe.
Oka Indian School.
I have made in all five visits, one in the autumn of 1885, two in 1886, one in the
Bpring and one in the fall, and two in 1887, one in the summer, and one in the autumn.
When I first visited the school in September, 1885, it was kept in a log hut covered
with bark, about ten miles from Bala. The place was small, ill-lighted and ventilated,
and with only the name of furniture or apparatus.
On my last visit I found the school occupying a new hewn log building, roomy,
well lighted, and more modernly furnished. The desks are of plain white pine ; very
comfortable. There was no teacher's desk, but I learned that one was ordered. I found
two maps, one of the Dominion and one of the world. They should have one of each of
the continents. I recommend that they be supplied with a calculator and a set of object
lessons with pictures. Indian children like pictures. A globe is needed.
There are in this Reserve about thirty families, mostly Methodists. There are a
few Plymouth Brethren among them. The children are not numerous ; about twenty
between the ages of five and twenty-one, of which seventeen are actually attending
school. The average attendance is about ten.
I found them reading in the first, second, third and fourth books. They also count,
and study a little geography.
The teacher, Mr. Carmichael, whom I met in the school on my first visit, was still
there on my last. He seems a competent teacher, and says he holds a second class
certificate.
I pointed out to him a defect I noticed, that the children went over rhymes of words
without understanding the meaning, and suggested that more time be spent in teaching the
meaning of what they learned ; also that more time be spent in conversing with them in
English, and teaching in English.
A. McNaughton, Esq., Inspector, Stormont.
Protestant Indian School, Cornwall Island.
First Visit. — This school is under the charge of Mr. Louis Benedict, a teacher of
Indian lineage, trained at Brantford. He speaks both the Indian and English languages
with fluency, and conducts the school in a very satisfactory manner. The small number
of pupils, and the youthful age of a majority of them, together with the difficulty of
comprehending the language used, retard the progress of the school. The ordinary
instructions of the teacher are given in English, but in order to explain difficult word
she occasionally translates them into Iroquois.
The number of pupils on the roll for the half year was 31, and the number present
10, classified as follows: — First Book, part first, 5 : Fir3t Book, part second, 2; Second
Book, 2 ; Third Book, 1.
141
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
The pupils have improved in their knowledge of English since my last visit, but it is
evident that to them it is a foreign tongue. On the whole the progress of the school
is slow.
Second Visit. — I visited the Protestant Indian School on Cornwall Island on the 17th
day of October last.
I found the attendance small, there being only five pupils present. The number on
the roll for the quarter was then eleven. Of those present, one was reading in the First
Book, one in the Second Reader, and the remaining three in the First.
Those in the second and third classes were learning reading, writing, arithmetic and
geography. Those in the first class were learning the rudiments of English reading,
spelling, and a slight knowledge of addition and subtraction, and the multiplication table.
The school is doing some good, but the progress of education among the Indians
is slow.
A. B. Davidson, Esq., Inspector, North York.
Indian School, Georgina Island.
This school I visited on the 30th of November. Theschoolhouse is situated near the
centre of the settlement, and consists of a white painted frame building 33 x 30 x 12
feet, with an anteroom and a bell. Inside the room was neat, clean, and well lighted,
furnished with 16 seats, 12 being new desks of different sizes; a good stove, B. B., maps
of the Dominion, Ontario and the world ; numeral frame tablets, etc. The island con-
tains about 10 children of school age. During the last five months 27 pupils were
enrolled, of whom I read in the Third Book, 6 in the Second Book, I in Part II., and 13 in
Part I. of the First Book, in all 18 boys and 9 girls. All write on slates, and seven on
copy book. All are exercised in arithmetic. The pupils in the Third Book are able to
solve simple problems involving a pretty thorough knowledge of all the simple rules.
Instruction in geography is imparted to the Second and Third Book classes. All do a
little in drawing, and are also made to commit to memory passages of poetry. The ages
of these pupils vary from five to sixteen, the average being eleven, and the average
attendance for the five months preceding my visit was 11. On the day of my visit ten
pupils were present, of whom three were reading in the Second Book, two in Part II.,
and two in Part I. of the First Book, and three in Chambers' Tablets. In all classes the
reading was very monotonous, slow and lifeless. The meaning, however, was better appre-
hended than the manner of reading would lead you to expect. Spelling orally and on slates
was good ; also dictation. The pupils in the Second Book were able to read Roman
numerals quite well, and add and subtract. In geography they are familiar with simple defi-
nitions, the general features of Ontario, and the larger divisions of the earth. In grammar
the third book class are able to distinguish nouns and adjectives, and to frame simple
sentences. The good singing that formerly characterized the school I found not. This I
have endeavored to reinstate, as the children are very fond of singing. On the whole, the
condition of the school is not so good as it was a year ago. This may. be accounted
for partly from the fact that there was no school during the first six months of the year.
The teacher now in charge of the school is an Indian from the Muncey Reserve, J. J.
Henry. He is twenty-one years of age, and was educated at Mount Elgin Institute,
passing the entrance examination at St. Thomas in 1886. He has'had little or no experi-
ence in teaching, but is not by any means destitute of promise. The Chief gave me a good
account of him so far, and with counsel and assistance, T. hope fairly good educational
opportunities may continue to be the lot of the children of the island.

D. McCaig, Esq., Inspector, Algoma.
Protestant Indian Schools in the District of Algoma.
During the present year only the Indian schools on Manitoulin Island and the north
shore of Lake Huron were visited by me, no visit having been paid to the Rainy River
portion of the district during the past season ; the Indian schools in that section are not
therefore reported.
Of the remaining Indian schools in the District, six in all, two are on Manitoulin
Island and four on the noith shore of Lake Huron ; one of these on White Fish River has
not baen long in operation.
The two schools on Manitoulin Island are not now, and never seem to have been a
success. The great and apparently insurmountable difficulty is irregularity of attendance.
Up till this year I had always been told by the teachers that the attendance was much
better during the winter season, and as this was also said of the public schools, I deter-
mined to visit the district during that season. Carrying out this design I got on to Mani-
toulin Island as early last winter as it was considered safe to cross the ice from the north
shore, and visited the Indian school at Sheguiandah on February 23rd, but found in
attendance only seven Indian children, five being in the First Book and two in the Second.
Found the reading poor, but writing and spelling fair considering the stage of advance-
ment of the classes.
This school has been taught for a number of years by a Mr. Fred. Sims, and
has become almost a sinecure. I have advised Mr. Phipps, the Indian agent at Mani-
towaning, that a change of teachers might be desirable. The other school on the
Island, which is at Sucker Creek, near Little Current, has been in operation only
about eighteen months, and has been doing better work than that at Sheguiandah.
On 24th February last I found twelve children in attendance, and a fair beginning
made in reading, writing and dictation. Classes were all confined to the First and
Second Books. This school has not, however, done well since the summer vacation,
some difficulty having arisen between the teacher, a Miss May, and the parents in the
section, they having gone so far as to refuse to send their children till another
teacher is employed. I believe, therefore, a change of teachers is likely to take place
in both these schools. At my visits in September last, I found only two children
(white) at the Sheguiandah School, and none at the Sucker Creek School.
I am pleased to be able to report much more favorably of the schools on the
north shore. That at Garden River is taught by a Miss Brown, from St. Joseph
Island, who till lately held a Local Third Class Certificate. In May last I found twenty-
eight children in attendance, and in October thirty-two, out of a register number of
thirty-three. Here I have to report — reading, fair ; writing and dictation, good ;
arithmetic, low.
At the Shingwauk Home for Indian boys, L found at the time of my winter visit
(March 2-t), forty-three boys in attendance, with classes ranging from First to Fourth Book
(inclusive). Here I found reading, writing and dictation fair, arithmetic low. Four
boys from this school tried the entrance examination at Sault Ste Marie, in July last,
and although all failed to pass, still it is an evidence that the school is aiming at
something higher than the attainments of the average Indian- school. I visited this
school again on September 24th, and found it attended by forty-five pupils, with state
of progress much as described above. At present the school is taught by a Mr. Mc-
Callum, who holds a Third Class Professional, and a Second Class Non-Professional
Cei titicate.
The Wawanosh Home for Indian girls, also situated near Sault Ste Marie, was
visited on the same days as the Boys' Home. It was also found to be doing fair work,
though not so advanced as the other schcol. This school is at present taught by a
Mrs. Bligh, from Collingwood, who has had considerable experience in private school
work. The daily attendance at both my visits was twenty-two, and classes ranged up
to Third Book.
143
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
The most marked failure throughout all the Indian schools, and in all the classes'
was in arithmetic, which so far as I have seen, is characteristic of Indian schools
everywhere. Very little, except mere mechanical operations, seems possible to the
average Indian mind in this department.
I might here state that the advantage which the schools on the north shore have
over the Manitoulin Island schools, arises chiefly from the fact that the pupils live and
board in those schools and are always in attendance, and thus escape the irregularity of
Indian children who live with their parents.
In my report of last year I suggested that the Dominion Government ought to
bring some pressure to bear upon Indian parents by establishing some connection be-
tween the attendance of their children of a certain age at school for a stated pprtion
of each year, and the periodical payment of money by the different Indian agents.
Failure to comply with such a regulation need not forfeit such payment altogether, but it
might be withheld till compliance therewith was satisfactory to the agent or school
inspector. Till something of this kind is done, I consider the money now spent on
the average Indian school almost thrown away.
We have a compulsory clause in our Public School Act bearing upon the enfran-
chised white. I consider it much more necessary, and it certainly ought to be more
legitimate, in the case of the Indian ward of the Government.
Rev. George Grant, Inspector, Parry Sound.
The Indian schools of this district have been kept open during the whole of the
school year.
The resignations of Miss C. John, of Shawanaga, and Mr. J. Esquimaux, of Henvey
Inlet at midsummer, led to the transfer of Mrs. J. Johnston from No. 2 Parry Island to
Shawanaga, the appointment of Miss J. Good to No. 2 Parry Island, and Mr. D.
Menomine to Henvey Inlet. Irregularity of attendance continues to be the greatest
obstacle to the prosperity of these schools. I would again most respectfully suggest, that
the present system of management be so modified that the finances of the school be made
dependent, to some extent, at least, on the attendance. As things now are, the finances
are in no way affected by the presence or absence of the scholars. The amount expended
on the school is the same, whether the majority of the pupils spend their time roaming
the woods, or sitting at their desks in the schoolroom. If we believe that " Love of
learning for its own sake," does not supply a motive strong enough in itself to bring
pupils to our public schools, and that we must bring additional motives to bear, in the
form of laws, making attendance compulsory, and the giving of a certain amount of the
public school grant on average attendance, surely it is too much to expect that the pure
" Love of learning " will, of itself, be all sufficient in the Indian schools.
First Visit.
Shawanaga. — In company of the Indian Superintendent, Dr. Walton, I
visited Shawanaga on the 18th May. Found 13 pupils present; average attendance
for the first quarter, 12. Of those present on this day, 9 were in the First Book ;
1 in the Second, and 3 in the Third Book. Those in the third class did fairly well in
reading, spelling, writing and drawing. Those in the First Book were slow and rather
backward. On thp whole I was somewhat better pleased with the condition of the
school, than on former visits.
Ryerson School, No. 1, Parry Island.
Teacher, Mr. Edward Farrer. Has had charge for the past two years. Number
of pupils on roll, 38 ; present, 14 ; average attendance for first quarter, 23. The school
is properly graded into classes, ranging from Book I to IV. The oi'dinaxy subjects of the
public school course, viz., reading, writing, spelling and dictation, arithmetic, draw-
144
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
ing, Grammar and Geography, are taught with some measure of success. The junior
reading classes are introduced to their work by means of blackboard lessons, aided by a
liberal use of small pictures of common objects;. This msthod ought to be more generally
followed than it is, especially in the Indian schools, where the children for the most part
neither speak, nor understand the English language.
Skene School, No. 2, Parry Island.
Visited 15th June. Teacher, Mr.-. J. Johnson, has taught this school for past two
years. Holds a district certificate, is a faithful and fairly successful teacher. On roll,
13 ; average attendance for first quarter, 9. The attendance has never been large. On
enquiry I found that but few children permanently reside in this part of the Reserve.
Present, 7 ; graded as follows : 2 in First Book Part II ; 1 in II, and 4 in Book III.
The school did fairly well in the subjects examined.
Henvey Inlet School.
Teacher, Mr. J. Esquimaux. Visited 20th June. On roll, 22 ; average attendance
for first quarter, \'2\\ for second quarter up to date, 5.1, ; present, 4. The teacher gave
as a reason for the small attendance, that the greater part of the band had gone to the
neighboring islands in the bay to engage in deep water net-fishing. This is a new
departure, and appears to be an attempt on the part of the Indians of this band to share
in the profits of the trade carried on in these waters. The few scholars present struggled
through their lessons in an unsatisfactory manner. We hope that the school under the
teacher lately appointed may do better in the future than it has in the past.
Second Visit.
Skene Softool. No. 2, Parry Island..
Visited 10th September. Teacher, Miss Josephine Good. Passed the Entrance
Examination, and subsequently attended the Brantford Collegiate Institute for two years ;
taking up the work for teacher's certificate. On roll for the half year, 11 ; average-
attendance for the term, 10; present, 11. Teacher giving particular attention to the
subjects of arithmetic, drawing and reading. Work of the pupils much the same as on
previous visit.
Shawanaga, Hodg'tn* School.
Visited September 3rd. Found the school closed, and most of the band gone to the
lake shore, fishing, etc. I subsequently learned that the teacher had gone with the band,
and was doing her duty as far as she could in regard to the children. And that it is the
usual custom of this band to take up temporary quarters on the lake shore during the
Bummer months, returning again to their settlement in the fall.
Ryersnn School, No. 1, Parry Island.
Visited 25th October. Found the school closed and teacher absent through sickness.
id again 30th October. Present, .7 ; average attendance for the term, 12. Teacher
gave as a reason for the small attendance, that there had been, and yet was, a good deal
of sickness amongst the children. The school in consequence was not up to its usual
standard of excellence. Examined the few present in arithmetic, reading, spelling and
dictation, geography, writing and drawing. Results as indicated.

APPENDIX K.— REPORT ON MECHANICS' INSTITUTES, FREE LIBRARIES,
ART SCHOOLS AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTIONS.
Report of Dr. S. P. May, Superintendent op Mechanics' Institutes and Art
Schools.
Sir. — I have the honor to submit herewith my report on the Mechanics' Institutes,
Art Schools, and other institutions receiving Government aid in the Province of Ontario,
for the year ending 1st of May, 1888 ; and beg to inform you that it has been a most suc-
cessful year, and the various institutions under my superintendence are now in a more
flourishing and prosperous condition than they have ever been since they were first estab-
lished.
The results as shown by my Report will no doubt be most gratifying to you,
proving that your efforts in promoting technical education in this Province have been much
appreciated by the public.
1. Mechanics' Institutes.
During the past year twenty-three new Mechanics' Institutes have been incorporated
and opened to members in different parts of the Province. At the present time we have
no less than 178 Mechanics' Institutes in operation, representing about 20,000 members.
As it is generally computed that on the average every book taken from a Mechanics'
Institute library is read by at least three persons in a family, this would represent 60,000
readers, who read 400,000 volumes of books on various subjects, and this independently
of the 13,840 readers who borrowod books from the Free Libraries.
That these books have been thoroughly disseminated throughout the Province can be
seen from the following table showing the locality of the 178 Mechanics' Institutes and 8
Free Libraries in Counties and Districts : —

The above list may be classified as follows : —

Total 186
I refer to this to show that I cannot give complete returns, there having always been
a difficulty in getting the officers of Mechanics' Institutes to send in their annual reports
regularly. They used seemingly to be of the opinion that it was not necessary to report
unless application was made for Legislative grants, but this impression is being gradually
removed by my personal interviews with the Directors, and whilst formerly from twenty
to thirty per cent, always neglected to report, this year only about seven per cent, failed
to do so.
The total reoeipts of 159 Mechanics' Institutes and 8 Free Libraries were $104,203.68.
That these institutions are appreciated by the public is shown by the large amount
now voted for them by the municipal authorities. Last year 75 Mechanics' Institutes
and Free Libraries received municipal grants amounting to $36,964.09. Your first
annual report of 1883 shows that only 34 of these institutions received municipal aid, and
the grants amounted only to $3,340.
This great success I attribute chiefly to the working of the new Act and Regula-
tions by which the Institutes are paid in proportion to the amounts actually expended ;
and the proof of this is that so many Institutes do not now suddenly collapse after the
receipt of the Government grants, as was the case when they were paid in advance.
148
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
I find as a rule that the Directors highly approve of the new Act, because now they
have not to raise money which was promised to be done by their predecessors in office, as
was formerly the case under the old Act. I am also pleased to be able to state that the
Directors now take a deeper interest in the Institutes, and are proud to refer to the
practical benefits derived therefrom by members. I am told of several instances where
young men have forsaken bad habits, and become useful members of society, through the
influence of the reading rooms and evening classes, and further some of the parents them-
selves have become better citizens since their children became members of Mechanics'
Institutes. From my own observation, when visiting Institutes after long intervals I
have found a great improvement in the morals of young people, and this opinion is fully
■corroborated by the experience of the Public School Inspectors whom I have consulted
on the matter.
143 Mechanics' Institutes purchased 22,373 volumes of books during the year. (See
Table C.)
During the past year 96 Institutes reported having reading rooms which are well
warmed, lighted and equipped and located in central localities ; they are supplied with
1,114 periodicals and scientific papers and 1,155 newspapers.
The evening classes are now doing good work. One instance was mentioned to me
•of a young man employed in a blacksmith's shop in one of our small villages; his educa-
tion had been entirely neglected in his youth, so he attended the evening classes of the
Mechanics' Institute, and eventually passed a good examination in the Commercial
Course. Since then, by industry and perseverance he has saved sufficient money from
his work to pay for his board and attendance at the High School in the neighboring
county town.
Thirty-nine Institutes conducted evening classes, with 967 students, in the following
subjects : 1. English Course — Composition and Grammar ; 2. Commercial Course
Writing, Arithmetic and Bookkeeping, Shorthand and Commercial Law. Eighteen
Institutes conducted evening classes with 408 students in Drawing as follows: 1. Primary
-Course — Freehand Drawing, Practical Geometry, Linear Perspective. Drawing from
Models and Memory or Blackboard Drawing ; 2. Mechanical Course — Machine Drawing
Building Construction and Advanced Perspective; 3. Advanced Course — Outline from
the "round" and Drawing from Flowers. (See also Art Schools.)
There would have been a much larger number of Drawing classes, but there was a
■difficulty in obtaining qualified teachers. This difficulty has, to a great extent been
removed since the last annual examination in Drawing, and I have already received notice
of several additional Institutes conducting Drawing classes this winter.
The value of this technical education to the manufacturers of this Province must be
very great, as those countries which encourage education in the Arts and Sciences become
the most prosperous and wealthy. The principal factor in the value of a manufactured
article is the design and artistic skill employed in its manufacture. Technical education
also effects a saving of labor. Experts state that a knowledge of drawing, which is the
fundamental principle of technical education, saves at least one-third of the labor in
large manufactories.
If by these means we increase the skill of our mechanics, we shall eventually do
without employing skilled labor from abroad, and at the same time, gratify the public
tastes by manufacturing goods of improved design and more artistic finish ; we shall
thus partially prevent the immense importations of manufactured articles into this
1 Dominion from foreign countries, and expend a much larger sum in the employment of
our own people. For the information of those interested in the manufactories of this
country, I submit a list of manufactured goods imported into the Dominion in 1887 as
shown by the trade and navigation returns for that year.
The total imports in 1887 amounted to $112,892,236 ; the value of «oods entered
for home consumption was 8105,639,428, on which 822,469,705.83 was paid for duty.
The imports of this Province amounted to 843,168,293, on which was paid 88,016 822.12
for duty.
The following is a list of manufactured articles imported in 1887 for home coa-
■sumption, showing their value and the amount of duty paid : —

The preceding lists show that $67,168,775 was expended by this Dominion for
imported manufactured goods for home consumption, and in addition to this
$14,585,143.30 was paid for customs duty.
An important question for manufacturers to decide, is whether we cannot apply a
large proportion of this immense sum for payment of labor in our own country. I find
that no less than 120 different trades and occupations are represented by persons attend-

ing the Mechanics' Institutes and Art Schools evening classes ; and that they derive
practical benefit therefrom, is proved by the fact that Mechanics' Institutes are
established in all the chief towns and villages from which we export manufactured goods
toother countries. Unfortunately thequantitv exported is very small ; all the manufactured
goods exported from the Dominion in 1887, only amounting to £3,079,972.
I strongly recommend that an appeal be made to the manufacturers of this Province,
to assist the Directors of the Mechanics' Institutes, by conferring with them, and giving
them advice and assistance in making evening classes more popular in the various
localities.

II.— FREE LIBRARIES.
The Act for the establishment of Free Libraries was assented to 10th March, 1882,
and an amendment Act was assented to in February, 1883, by which the directors of any
Mechanics' Institute can transfer its library, etc., to the Board of Management of a Free
Library in the same city, town, or village.
Whenever a Mechanics' Institute library or reading room is transferred to a Free
Library, the Board of Management of the Free Library is entitled to the like aid from the
unappropriated moneys in the hands of the Treasurer of the Province in respect to such
reading room and library, or either of them, as such Mechanics' Institute would have
received under the provisions of the Revised Act, chapter thirty-five, relating to
Mechanics' Institutes.
In eight cities and towns, viz., Berlin, Brantford, Guelph, Simcoe, St. Catharines,
St. Thomas, Toronto and Waterloo, Mechanics' Institutes libraries have been transferred
to Free Libraries.
Tables G, H, show the work done in the Free Libraries during the year.

III. ART SCHOOLS.
Art Schools under the inspection of the Education Department are now in operation
in Brockville, Hamilton, Kingston, London, Parkdale, Ottawa and Toronto, and the
following institutes are in affiliation with the Department for examination purposes :
Wykeham Hall, Toronto; Alma College, St. Thomas; Albert College, Belleville ; Ontario
Ladies' College, Whitby ; Hellmuth Ladies' College, London ; Academy of Painting and
Drawing, London.
Mechanics Institutes and High and Public School pupils also have the privilege of
presenting themselves for examination at the annual Provincial Examinations of the Educa-
tion Department. It is gratifying to state that a large number of these pupils were
successful in obtaining certificates at the last annual examination in drawing.
The following lists containing the total number of certificates granted by the Educa-
tion Department, from 1882 to 1st of May, 1888, show the gradual progress made in
this important branch of our educational system :

Report of the Brockville Art School for the Year ending 30th April, 1888.
Sir, — I have the honor of submitting to you the following report of the work and
financial alFairs of the Brockville Art School for the season just closed.
The attendance has not been as large as it should have been, but this appears to be
due to sickness and various other accidental adverse circumstances, preventing the attend-
ance of many who wished to become pupils. The prospect last fall appeared unusually
promising, and there is little doubt but with proper care the list of pupils will be largely
increased during the ensuing season.
The result of last year's examinations (the first year for the Brockville Art School)
was very gratifying in many respects. In the Primary Course the proportion of the
number of certificates obtained to the number of pupils examined compares most favor-
ably with the achievements of the older and larger Art Schools. In oil painting a full
100 per cent, succeeded. In addition to this Miss Bullis, of this school, won the silver
medal for designing a medal for the Ontario Manufacturers' Association.
Primary Course 45 lessons 35 pupils.
Advanced " 40 " 17 "
Painting " 96 " 13 "
The work of the Painting Class has, as previously, consisted almost exclusively of
studies from still life, and it is very gratifying to learn that the canvases sent from this
school to the Art School Exhibition in Toronto this spring have stood high in the estima-
tion of competent judges.
The out-door sketching class last year proved a very pleasant success, and it promises
equally well this year.
The Receipts and Expenditure up to May 1st were as follows : —

Report of the Hamilton Art School for the Year ending 30th April, 1888.
Sir, — On behalf of the Directors of this Art School I beg to submit the following
report for the school year just closed, 1887-8.
The following gentlemen constituted the Board for the year, viz.: —
J. M. Gibson, M.P.P., President; John Knox, Vice-President; W. A. Robin-
son, Secretary-Treasurer ; B. E. Charlton, R. Fuller, Samuel Barker, W. H. Judd, Rev.
Samuel Lyte, B.D., T. H. MacPherson, A. T. Wood, William Doian (Mayor), William
Bell (Chairman Board of Education).
The new class rooms reporttd last year in the Canada Life Assurance buildings
have proved convenient and satisfactory, and excellent work has been accomplished
during the year under the tuition of Mr. S. John Ireland, as principal, and Mr. Arthur
Heming, as assistant teacher.
The classes opened on the 5th September, 1887, with an exhibition of the work
done during the previous year and vacation sketching club, when prizes and certificates
were distributed. The sessions were fairly well attended until the close, on 26th June,
1888.
The number of pupils enrolled during the year was 130, but it is satisfactory to
note that students have gone into the work more heartily than heretofore, having in
many cases joined two or more classes, as will be seen from the following class enrol-
ment : —
Saturday morning class 39
Tuesday and Friday afternoon class 34
Tuesday and Friday evening class 53
Monday and Thursday evening class 22
Wednesday evening class 34
Total , 182

At the Exhibition of Works at Toronto this school presented work in a greater
number of stages than any other school in the Province.
During the year the principal of the school, Mr. S. J. Ireland, gave a very instructive
lecture to the students, members and friends of the school on " Pottery," which will be
followed by other lectures on art subjects during the ensuing season.
The equipment of the school has been maintained and improved by the additions of
several valuable casts.
The following is an abstract of the receipts and expenditure for the year :

Report of the Kingston Art School for the Year ending 30th April, 1888.
Sir, — I have pleasure in submitting herewith the report of the Kingston School of
Art for the session 1887-88.
The session opened 17th October, 1887, and closed 8th June, 1888, comprising for
the Drawing Classes two full terms and the larger part of a third term.
Mr. Chas. E. Wrenshall, the gold medallist of the previous session, filled the position
of principal, and Miss Jennie C. Shaw, a graduate of the Ontario School of Art, that of
assistant teacher.
The whole number of pupils on the roll was 115, enrolled as follows : —
Primary (evening) class 80
Advanced " " 16
Afternoon Drawing " (mixed) 19
The Painting Classes were attended by 26 pupils, of which 21 took lessons in oil
painting and five in water colors.
At the examinations, which took place in April, about 70 pupils came up for exami-
nation, being principally those in the Primary Class, and as a result secured four certifi-
cates in extra subjects (only two pupils competing) 12 certificates in the Advanced
Grade, and the very large number of one full grade B, and 87 Proficiency Certificates in
the Primary Grade — a most satisfactory showing.
After the examinations about 30 of the pupils studied the principles of light and
shade and crayon work until the close of the session.
Among the pupils attending the Evening Classes, in addition to pupils attending
school, etc., were mechanics in several trades, teachers and clerks.
The school contributed specimens of pupils' work to the Art Exhibition in Toronto
in connection with the Education Department, in copies from flat examples, in crayon
and point work, enlargement from photographs, oil and water color studies and drawings
from life.
The following is a statement of receipts and disbursements to date : —
Receipts.
School fees $292 95
Members' fees 25 00
$317 95

52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
The fall terra from October to December was attended by 42 pupils, and the School
term from January to April, Evening Classes, was attended by 48 pupils, the curriculum
of studies as required by you being carried out. There was also an extended term of 1 2
lessons, from 30th of March to 30th of April. This term was held so as to enable the
students to better qualify themselves in the various subjects for the examination, and was
attended by 2G pupils.
At the examination, which took place in April, quite a large number of students
obtained Certificates of Proficiency in the various branches.
According to your wishes, there was a summer class conducted especially for school
teachers. This class, I am sorry to say, was but poorly attended. There were also extra
afternoon or day classes held during the year, at which oil and water color and china
painting was taught, these classes being self-sustaining, no funds of the School being
used for carrying them on. The number of pupils attending during the year was 197.
I rui^ht mention that quite a number of prizes were awarded at the Western Fair to
pupils attending these classes, one pupil being awarded a medal for china painting.
I am sorry to have to report that during the year this School sustained a severe loss
in the death of one of our teachers, Secretary and Treasurer, Mr. Charles Chapman, one
who had worked so long and faithfully in the interest of the School.

Report of the Ottawa Aut School for the Year ending 30th April, 1888.
Sir, — In conformity with the requirements of your Department I have the honor
by direction to furnish you with the following report upon the work of this school during
the year past, the 9 th session of its operation.
The Association numbers 31 life members and 34 ordinary members.
The school session opened on the 1st of November, 1887, and closed on the 30ch of
April, 1888 (six months). The teaching staff provided consisted of five paid masters, of
whom three were exclusively for the Industrial Branch and an unpaid teacher for the
class of Art Needlework. The head master for the previous three years, Mr. C. Moss,
having, to the regret of the Association, fomid it advisable to resume his professional
work, it became necessary to fill the vacated post, and in the present head master, Mr.
Franklin Brownell, it is felt that the Society has secured the services of a thoroughly
competent successor. Other changes have been made, resulting in advantage to the
School.
The staff is now as follows : —
Life ; Oil Painting and Drawing from the Antique and Draped Figures — Mr. Frank -
land Brownell (pupil of Bonguereau and Bonnat, and an exhibitor in the Paris Salon.)
Design and Freehand Drawing, Evening Class — Mr. Fennings Taylor (certificated
by the Ontario Government School of Art.)
Water Colors, also Design and Freehand, Morning Class — Mr. Robin L. Paley
(gold medallist of the Eoyal Academy of Antwerp and certificated by South Kensing-
ton.)
Mechanical and Architectural Drawing — Mr. J. B. Lamb.
Practical Geometry and Perspective — Mr. J. S. Bowerman (certificated by the
Ontario Government School of Art.)
Clay Modelling— Mr. Brownell and Mr. Paley.
Art Needlework — Miss Barrett.
The Industrial Art Branch has undergone some changes, which has promoted its
thoroughness and elevated its standard in all respects. Mr. J. W. H. Watts, whose ability
as a designer has been attested by his elevation to the Royal Canadian Academy, as well
as by his success in several competitions abroad, has given his services as Director of
Tuition of the Industrial Department. The principal teacher of this department was
Mr. Fennings Taylor, of this city, an artist whose work has on many occasions attracted
much attention.
Freehand and Design, the basis of all art industries, were ably treated, and pupils
had their attention directed to those special features of design which their future practical
work may call for.
Geometry and Perspective and the several branches of the Government work were
under special teachers.
The class for the practice and study of Mechanical Drawing was held twice each
week. The advantages derived from it require no description; the power of command-
ing higher wages is one of the least which may be looked for.
A special class for Architectural Drawing was made of practical interest.
The appointments of the premises have been contrived with the view of securing the
comfort and progress of pupils. New class rooms, ladies' cloak room and lavatories have
been provided, and the whole building is heated by hot water apparatus.
The number of students attending this year has not been so large as that of some
previous years, a fact mainly due to the existence of a serious epidemic in the city, which
affected this in common with other educational establishments. Students, however, to the
number of 80 entered during the season, in addition to 46 ladies attending the Art Needle-
work class. It is gratifying to record that the maintenance of interest in the work has
been more satisfactory than last year, the number rising from 37 in November to 44 in
April, whereas in 1886-87 they fell from 125 in November to 65 in April.
Of these 90 students, 30 were specially attached to the fine arts and 50 to the
industrial art branch of the school. Specimens of the work of the year are now before
192
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
the Education Department. The masters have had to deal with much new material ;
the work done, however, may be regarded as evidencing good and thorough training.

diture of the year : —

(Signed) Douglas Stewart,
June 4th, 1888. Treasurer.
The Association, it should be observed, occupies its own premises, subject to a mort-
gage of 84,000.
The Directors regret that though strenuous efforts have been made to create practical
interest on the part of the Corporation of the City of Ottawa, and to obtain from that
body a measure of the assistance so universally rendered to art training by municipal
authorities in continental cities, their appeal has been without effect ; turiher, that an
appeal to the Dominion Government, has resulted in failure, and again that the repre-
sentations made by memorial to the Provincial Legislature for an increased grant in view
of the heavy expenditure entailed on the Association by its efforts to advance the pro-
gress of industrial art culture and its compliance with the requirements of the Provincial
Government to this end, have not been favorably received.
It will be necessary that the incoming Council, in making arrangements for next
session, have careful regard to the prospects of pecuniary support to the Institution.

by Miss F. Kinton. a graduate of South Kensington and lately attached to the Kingston
Art School, and Mr. John Gait, C.E., both of whom were exceedingly energetic and
painstaking. The success attending their instruction demands this public recognition.

Report of the Ontario Society of Artists for the Year Ending 30th April, 1888.
Sir, — On behalf of the Executive Committee I beg to submit the following report : —
During the last three years a steady depression has rested upon the art world. It
has been felt in our own Dominion and also in the neighboring States, as well as in
Europe, where artists have vainly striven to dispose of their work, even sending it to the
various colonies, not omitting our own land. This state of things has not only influenced
our sales, but also the success of the " Art Union of Canada," consequently it was
thought advisable to suspend Art Union operations for a year.
The sales of pictures have been very few, and at unremunerative prices. For depre-
ciation of prices the artists' may to some extent trace the influence of auction sales,
some by our own members, and others by dealers who have little sympathy with native
work. The sales at the combined exhibition in the Granite Rink were remarkable for
their smallness ; indeed, respecting sales, we may say the exhibition was a failure.
Our exhibit at the Industrial Fair in September of 1887, was rnost successful, the
works of our members being numerous and of excellent quality. The Art Union held in
connection with that exhibit was not a success. The sale of tickets did not equal the
reasonable expectations of our Committee. The expenditure was necessarily very heavy,
and in order to satisfy the public as to our earnest desire to make the drawing a means
of diffusing good examples of art throughout the country, the drawing entailed somewhat
of a loss upon the Society.
The last regular exhibition of our Society was held in connection with the Royal
Canadian Academy in the Granite Rink, the financial arrangement of the exhibition
being as usual undertaken by the Academy. The work exhibited indicated another step
onward, it being generally acknowledged the best exhibit the associated Societies have
ever had. To mention any particular work would be invidious, but judging from the
spirit of emulation displayed, we may reasonably look for a still further advance at our
next year's exhibition.
The gallery at 14 King street west, which has been the home of our Society for so
long a time, has been relinquished. When the lease of these rooms expired in 1886, your
Committee renewed for one year at a largely increased rental, which renewal was subse-
quently extended to eighteen months, expiring on June 30th of the present year, beyond
which time the owners of the property declined to renew, as it was their intention to
remodel the premises. To secure other rooms suitable for exhibition and business pur-
poses would be to incur still larger expenditure, therefore, considering that we needed
no exhibition rooms this year, and also that the Art Union was for the present inopera-
tive, the Committee felt that, for the present, the offer of Messrs. Smith and Gemmell to
give the Society office room at a low rental, would answer every purpose of the Society.
The uncertainty of the Society being able to hold the gallery through the winter,
made it necessary to suspend the working of the School of Art re-opened by the Society
during the winter of 1886-7, but it is expected that the classes, so appreciated by art
students, will again be opened as soon as suitable rooms are secured.
The officers of the Royal Canadian Academy have given the Committee every reason
to believe that, within another year the Academy will have a permanent building in
Toronto, where the Society will be able to secure ample accommodation on reasonable
terms.
Although the Society has for reasons above stated been compelled to relinquish the
exhibition gallery, it confidently appeals to patrons and an art-loving public for a
continuance of kindly support and countenance, giving on its part the assurance that
it will not relax its efforts to advance the interests of art in our fair province.

Eeport op the Canadian Institute, Toronto, for the Session 1887-
(This Report is printed separately.)
Report of L'Institut Canadien-francais de la Cite D'Ottawa, for the' Year
Ending 30th April, 1888.
Sir, — I have the honor to submit the following " Report of L'Institut Canadien-
Francais de la Cite, d'Ottawa" for the year ended 30th April, 1888.
Notwithstanding the great loss which our institution has sustained by the destruction
by fire of its magnificent building on the 16th January, 1887, the Board of Directors has
spared no efforts to keep up its literary pursuits, so necessary for the sound intellectual
education of its members.
During the past ty inter months we have rented the Concert Hall in the St. Joseph's
Orphan Asylum, where the usual literary entertainments were given to the public of
Ottawa which patronized them in great numbers, and conferences on the following sub-
jects were given by : —
Rev. Father Fillatre, D.D Our Country.
L. H. Tache" Morals of Mahometans.
Remi Tremblay Readings on various subjects.
Eev. Father Marsan, O.M.I Geology of the Ottawa Valley.
Nap. Champagne Fire and Water.
A. N. Montpetit . . , 3 . . . . The Labrador.
H. J. J. B. Chouinard, M.P Historical Reminiscences of the past Century.
Severe Gelinas Visions and Apparitions.
Arthur T. Genest Philosophy of a Laugh.
Library.
Our Library, which had also been partially destroyed, was greatly increased during
the past year by the generous donations which were sent to us by the corresponding
Societies of France, England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Russia, Belgium, Spain, Italy,
Austria, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Portugal, Egypt, the Argentine
Republic, and the United States, with which our ex-President, The Chevalier F. R. E.
Champeau, had established friendly relations from which we have greatly benefited,
intellectually speaking.
Reading Room.
Our Reading Room, which contains over forty daily and weekly, French and English
newspapers of Canada, not to speak of about fifteen from the United States and France,
gratuitously sent by their publishers, is a great advantage to our members, who read
these papers assiduously.
Museum.
Our Museum has not been entirely established since its total destruction, but we
hope that the generous example of Messrs. P. W. Ellis & Co., of Toronto, who have
enriched it with a fine collection of bronze medals, will be followed by other persons, and
that in the near future this branch will soon be progressing.

Our financial position is, for the same reason above stated, reduced to nothing, and
were it not for the Government grant and the contributions of members, our Society
could not support itself. Even with these receipts it is impossible to meet the expendi-
ture, and we had to resort to our friends who formed a syndicate to purchase some new
furniture and pay the rent of the new building which we now occupy.
However, L'Institut Canadien-Francais must and will live, and will continue to
spread the taste of good and sound literature, as is expected from the only French institu-
tion of the kind in the Province of Ontario.

Keport of the Ottawa Literary and Scientific Society for the Year Ending
30th April, 1888.
The Council of the Society has the honor to make the following report for the
year ending 30tn April, 1888 :
Daring the year 30 new members joined the Society, a falling off compared with last
year, and, in fact, hardly enough to make up for the ordinary losses through resignations,
removals and other causes. The Council is of opinion that the' membership might be
largely increased if members would interest themselves in calling attention to the advan-
tages offered by the Society. There are certainly many persons in the city who would
wish to join were they made aware of the benefits to be obtained thereby. If the
number added was smaller th;m usual, that lost was greater. 18 members resigned, 21
were taken off the list as having left the city, 5 died and 5 were struck off for non-pay-
ment of subscription, etc., a total loss of 49. 19 more than were added. This £act, how-
ever, is not so discouraging as it appears. The member's list was carefully gone over,
and a great many of the names taken off were those of persons who have long practically
discontinued membership. The total number of members is 297, composed of 8 life
members and 289 ordinary members.
199
52 Victoria Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
The total receipts for the year were $1,454.89 and the expenditure $1,452.73, leav-
ing a cash balance of $2.1 G, against which are liabilities amounting to 862.17, namely,
rent for 2 months of the current quarter $54.17, and a disputed newspaper account of
$8. These liabilities, therefore, are SCO more than the balance. Last year the balance
280.73, and the liabilities $486.51, almost $200 more. The financial position has
been improved, therefore to the extent of $140.
A new catalogue of the books in the Library has been prepared and will soon be ready
for use. The total number of books on the list is 2,230, of which 61 are missing, most
of them probably worn out. 47 books were added, 9 by presentation. Several Depart-
mental Reports were presented, and 23 magazines were bound. 198 members took books
from the Library, the number taken being 1,344. Owing to scarcity of money no new
books were purchased, but if the Library is to be maintained in an attractive and usetul
condition it is absolutely necessary to make an effort to raise money to buy books this
year. The Council earnestly commends this question to the consideration of the members.
The Reading Room has been well attended. The Mining Review, the Militia Gazette,
the three English daily city papers, Science, and the Sarnia Canadian are presented by
the publishers and private individuals.
The following is a list of Newspapers and Periodicals in reading :
Daily. — Ottawa Citizen, Evening Journal and Free Press. Montreal Star, Witness
and Gazette. Toronto Empire, Mail and Globe.
Semi- Weekly. — New Yor„k Tribune.
Weekly. — New York Sun, Nation, Times, Harpers Weekly, Scientific American &nd

No report was received from the Curator owing to his illness.
The following is the Programme of Lectures delivered during the season, 1888 :
Jan. 12 — Inaugural Address Mr. H. B. Small.

At the commencement of the year, the Royal Society of Canada, acting in accordance
with its constitution, invited this society to send a delegate to its annual meeting for
1887, and the council, to whom the matter was referred, appointed Mr. J. E. Armstrong,
President of this Society, who duly attended the various sessions of the Royal Society.
Read before Royal Society of Canada : —
Ottawa Literary and Scientific Society.
At the last meeting of the Royal Society, the President of the Ottawa Literary
and Scientific Society for the current year was present as a delegate, and gave a verbal
report of its progress and transactions from 1st April, 1886, to 31st March, 1887, the
Society's fiscal year. By some oversight, however, a report in writing was not subsequently
presented, and consequently no record was made in the Royal Society's transactions. To
remedy this deficiency, I have embodied in the report now submitted the result of the
operations of that year, as well as those of the year 1887-S, ended 31st March last.

During the year 1886-7, Mr. W. P. Anderson was President, and at the annual
meeting, terminating his tenure of office in March, 1887, the Ottawa Literary and Scien-
tific Society, was reported in a prosperous condition, there having been an increase in
every item of revenue (the Provincial Government grant excepted). The library con-
taining 2,174 books, and the reading-room were well resorted to. Two valuable cases of
insects wore presented to the museum by Dr. James Grant.
The following subjects constituted the course of lectures and each of them was well
attended, viz. : —
Inaugural Address Mr. W. P. Anderson.
Empresses of the Salon " Martin J. Griffin.
Concerning Bread " Wm. Scott.
Native Plants used for Food " James Fletcher, F.R.S.C.
Bells " W. H. Kerr, M.A.
Lucretius " W. D. Le Sueur.
Vancouver Island Dr. Dawson.
Browning Rev. W. T. Herridge.
Turgenieff Mr. J. H. Brown.
Styles in Poetry " A. H. Lampman.
India and the Colonies in London " Thomas Cross.
In addition to the above lectures, members of the Society were admitted free to a
course of winter classes held in the Society's rooms, on Geology, Botany and Entomology,
organized by the Field Naturalist's Club.
The Society feeling the great desirability for larger rooms, authorized its Executive
Council to take initiative measures to procure a building of ics own.
Mr. J. R. Armstrong was elected President for the next year.
1887-8.
During the year 1887, Mr. J. R. Armstrong filled the office of President, and the
Society maintained its prosperous condition with no outstanding liabilities for the year
ending with his tenure of office. The Library contained 2,230 books and the Reading-
Room were, during the whole year well attended. The desirability of making a consid-
erable addition to the former was re-recommended at the Annual Meeting in March last,
which proposal it is intended to carry out at once.
A course of lectures was provided for as iollows, all of which commanded a good
audience. —

In addition to the above lectures a course of winter classes on Science, given by
members of the Field Naturalist's Club, which was open to ajl members of the Literary
and Scientific Society, was held in the Society's rooms.
No suitable building having been found during the year, the Society has determined
to retain its present quarters for two years longer, during which period it is hoped a
scheme may be devised for erecting a building of its own, or that some suitable structure
may be offered for purchase.
.Mr. H. T>. Small was elected President for the year now entered upon.
This Society has been invited to send a delegate to the meeting to be held next
month.
It will be remembered that in April and May last, an effort was made to secure a
building for the Society. Offers were received from various quarters, among others from
14 (E.) 201
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
the trustees of the Congregational Church, offering to sell the church building for $20,-
000, and giving a month within which to close the bargain. Meetings of the Society
were held and a subscription list opened to which certain members responded nobly, bat
the sum subscribed in the short time allowed was altogether too small to warrant the
purchase being made. As the lease of the present premises would expire on the 1st of
May prox., the Council looked about them, and advertised in order to see whether some
convenient premises could not be rented. Several offers were received and it was finally
decided to accept that made by the Egan Estate Company, which offered to lease the
present rooms at a rental of $400 per annum (an increase of $75) for two years, with an
option of renewal for another year. The Council hopes the progress of securing a building
will be kept in mind with a view to its being carried out at some future time.
During the year the Society have had to regret the death of a member of the
Council, Mr. William Kerr. Mr. Kerr was an old member of the Society, was several
times elected a member of the Council, and both as a private and official member rendered
valuable services.
The cordial relations between this Society and the Ottawa Field Naturalists' Club
still continue. The Club made an offer to pay for the use of the museum at the rate of

Report of the Hamilton Association for the Year ending 30th April, 1888.
The Hamilton Association was instituted in 1857, for the cultivation of Litera-
ture, Science and Art, but was not incorporated until 1883. The Association has
been vigorously carried on during the past few years. In addition to the regular
monthly meetings, special meetings have been frequently held under the direction of the
Council. The Journal and Proceedings of the Association for 1886-7 and 1887-8, recently
published, contains list of Council and Members, Abstract of Minutes, Abstract of Papers
and Lectures, etc.
The Annual Meeting was held on the 12th of May, 1887, when the following
officers were elected for the ensuing year, viz.: —
President, Rev. Samuel Lyle, B.D.; 1st Vice-President, B. E. Charlton ; 2nd Vice-
President, W. A. Child, M.A.; Corresponding Secretary, H.« B. Witton, B.A.; Recording
Secretary, A. Alexander, F.S.Sc. , Treasurer, Richard Bull ; Curator and Librarian,
Alexander Caviller. Council — J. Alston Moil'at, Williain Milne, James Leslie, M.D., P.
L. Scriven and C. S. Chittenden.
During the summer recess, successful field meetings were held, and Adam Brown,
Esq., M.P., was appointed as delegate at the annual meeting of the Royal Society held
at Ottawa.
The first regular meeting of the session for 1887-8 was held on 10th November,
1887, when the President, the Rev. Samuel Lyle, B.D., delivered his inaugural address,
choosing for his subject " Evolution." The history of this hypothesis was traced during
the past two centuries, and while it was admitted that the study of evolution had aided
203
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
the progress of true science, and had brought out very clearly the essential oneness of the
animal and vegetable kingdoms, it was pointed out that there was an unbridged chasm
between man and the higher form of ape ; and the moral sense in man was referred to as
a distinguishing mark, placing man far above the lower creation.
At this meeting there was a re-organization of sections, and the following gentlemen
appointed as Chairmen : —
Section A. — Mathematics, Mechanics, Physics, Meteorology and Astronomy. Chair-
man— Mr. A. Caviller.
Section B. — Chemistry and Mineralogy. Chairman — Dr. Chittenden.
Section C. — Geology and Palaeontology. Chairman — Mr. A. T. Neill.
Section D. — Biology, Comprehending Botany, Zoology and Entomology. Chairman
—Mr. Thos. Mcllwraith.
Section E. — Medical and Sanitary Science. Chairman — Dr. Leslie.
Section F. — Geography and Ethnology. Chairman — Mr. A. F. Forbes.
Section G. — Literature and the Fine Arts. Chairman — Mr. B. E. Charlton.
During the session the following papers have been read and discussed at largely
attended meetings by the General Association : — " The Mahabharata," by H. Witton,
Sr. " Notes on Primitive Man," by "William Kennedy, in which a very high antiquity
was claimed for man. " Atmosphere Pressure," illustrated by experiments, by Alexander
Caviller. ". Notes on the Waverley Novels," by the Rev. C. H. Mockridge, D.D. " The
Public Treatment of Crime and Criminals," by William Milne.
In addition to these meetings the various sections of the Association have had
several meetings and done a considerable amount of original work. Especially has this
been the case with the Biographical Section, where Botany and Ornithology have chiefly
engaged the attention of the members of the section. In connection with the former of
these a great impetus has been given to the pursuit of this science by Dr. Burgess
becoming connected with the Association and infusing the members with his enthusiasm.
In Entomology, one of our members, John Alston Moffat, a member of the Council of
the Entomological Society, has contributed a list of no less than 145 names of Lepidop-
tera which he has added to the Canadian Lepidoptera. In Mr. Mcllwraith, who is Chair-
man of the Section, we have the subject of Ornithology well represented. His " Birds
of Ontario," which was published in our last volume of proceedings, as well as papers
contributed by him during the past year, show that this branch of Biology has not been
neglected.
The Biology Section meets on the first and third Fridays of every month, at which
one or more papers of a thoroughly practical and largely original character are read. In
addition to this the members of the Section call attention at each meeting to the observa-
tions made by them during the periods between.
This Section purposes holding weekly field meetings during the summer, and a
monthly meeting to compare notes.
The interest in the Association and its work is maintained and the membership kept
up, the number at present on the roll being 145.
The following papers were read and discussed in the Biological Sections during the
winter : —
December 2, 1887 — " A Biography of the only known Carniverous Larva of a
Butterfly." An account of the habits of the Fenesica Tarquinius, with specimens of the
chrysalis and butterfly — J. Alston Moffat.
December 16, 1887 — " Orchids." Description of the general and local varieties,
with specimens of the Canadian varieties — T. J. W. Burgess, M.D.
January 6, 1888 — " Economic Ornithology." A paper dealing particularly with the
English Sparrow, its productiveness and the mischief it is guilty of, in the way of destroying
buds, grain and seeds, and driving away song and insectivorous birds — T. Mcllwraith.
January 20, 1888 — "Arboreal Habits of some of our Native Snakes." — J. Alston
Moffat. "Plant Color and Fertilization by Insects." — A. Alexander.

Woods to the Rocky Mountains." Observations made while serving as surgeon and
botanist on H. M. British North American Commission, with specimens of the most
peculiar and beautiful plants. — T. J. W. Burgess, M.D., F.R.S.C.
April 20, 1888 — " Notes on the Birds seen during the winter of 1887.8," with
specimens. — T. Mcllwraith.
May 4, 1888 — " Some Inquiries about the Inception of the young of the Mar-
supial."— J. Alston Moffat. " A list of 145 named Canadian Lepidoptera." — J. Alston
Moffat.
As an example of the good that has and can be done by this and other Sections, it
may be mentioned that Mr. Mcllwraith 's paper on Economic Ornithology has been
published in the Farmers? Advocate, and has also been read at the meeting of the Fruit
Growers' Association in Ottawa in February, 1888, with the result that a committee was
appointed to secure the necessary legislation to restrict the increase of the English
sparrow.
A complete collection of specimens of the local native plants is being made and pre-
pared for the museum, so that the members of the Association, or the public, may have
access to them at any time.
Fifteen new members have been elected during the past session, making the member-
ship of the Association, 147.
We are assured that through the subjects brought before the Association, the meet-
ing of the Biological Sections, both in-doors and in the field, and the access to our museum,
with the circulation of our published proceedings, we are creating and fostering a love
for scientific study and research in the community. If we consider this as our aim, the
session just closing has been one of the best for years.

Annual Report of tiie Council op University College, Toronto, for the Year
1887-8.
To His Honor, the Honorable Sir Alexander Campbell. K.G.M.G., Lieutenant-Governor of
the Province of Ontario, and Visitor of the University of Toronto and University
College.
May it Please Your Honor :
The President and Council of University College beg leave to present to your Honor,
as Visitor on behalf of the Crown, the following report on the progress of the College
during the past year.
By the enactment of the Legislature in 1887, of an Act respecting the Federation of
this University and College with others, power was given to reorganize the faculties of
Law and Medicine, in accordance with the rights conferred on this University by the
Royal Charter of 1827. Acting on the powers thus restored to us, steps have been taken
which have resulted in the efficient revival of the Medical Faculty ; and as the work
embraced in the various branches of Science taught in this College is not only available
for Medical as well as Art students, but is calculated to elevate the standard and practical
efficiency of medical education, the record of attendance on lectures during the past
academic year shows that those advantages have been largely turned to account; while
in other departments the number of students furnishes satisfactory evidence of the
estimation in which this University and College are now held, not only throughout the
Province of Ontario, .but far beyond its limits.
At the annual Convocation of the University and College held on the 14th October,
1887, the number of students admitted for the first time amounted to 132, and the
entire number of students in attendance on lectures during the academic year was 509,
of these 372 were undergraduates pursuing the fuH course of study prescribed by the
University for proceeding to a degree in Arts.
At the Convocation of the University of Toronto, on the 12th June, 1888, 109
students who had pursued their undergraduate studies in University College, and fulfilled
all the prescribed requirements, were admitted to the following Degrees : — M.D., 3 ;
M.A., 4; L.L.B., 6; M.B., 7; B.A., 89 ; total, 109.
During the period of thirty-five years in which University College has carried on
the work of higher education in this Province, degrees have been conferred on 1,603
undergraduites who have been students in this College, in regular attendance on its
lectures. They are classified as follows :— LL.D., 10 ; LL.B., 64 ; M.D., 22 ; M.B., 81;
M.A., 263; B. A., 1,163. These returns do not include graduates of the University
trained at other Colleges, or otherwise prepared for the requisite examinations; but
embrace only those who have passed through successive years of the course as under-
graduates in actual attendance on lectures, and on the practical work and training of
the laboratories.
The following is a list of the joint faculty of the University and University College,
embracing the Professors. Lecturers, Demonstrators, and Fellows, under whom instruc-
tion has been carried on during the past year ; but to this list important additions have
since been made.

The following changes have been made in the staff of Professors and Lecturers
constituting the joint Faculty of the University and College, by whom instruction is
given in all the Departments of Language, Letters, Philosophy and Science embraced in
the requirements of the University for standing and degrees in the Faculty of Arts ;
and, in conjunction with the Medical Faculty and the School of Practical Science, for
degrees in Medicine and Civil Engineering. Mr. A. B. Macallum has entered on his
duties in the department of Bioloay as lecturer on Physiology. To Mr. Alfred Baker
has been entrusted the department of Mathematics, as a professorship apart from that of
Physics, which is now under the charge of Professor Loudon, with the assistance of Mr.
W. J. Loudon as lecturer and demonstrator. In addition to the arrangements mentioned
in last report for the separation of the Classical Chair with distinct Professorships and
Lectureships in Greek and Latin, the department of Comparative Philology has been
entrusted to Professor Hutton, and the branches of Greek and Latin History have been
assigned to Mr. H. R. Fairclough and Mr. W. Dale in connection with the special work
211
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
in Classical Literature now apportioned to each. In the department of Oriental Litera "
ture Mr. Hirschfelder has retired after a lengthened service of forty-three years, and Dr.
James F. MeCurdy has been made Professor, with the entire charge of the department.
By the recent Act a Chair of Political Science was created in the University, and to this
Professorship Mr. W. J. Ashley, late Fellow and Lecturer of Lincoln College, Oxford,
has been appointed, as a step towards the reorganization of a Faculty of Law.
With the revival of the Faculties of Law and Medicine, and the appointment of
additional Professors and Lecturers, at a time when the increase in the number of under-
graduates in the Faculty of Arts has rendered it necessary to re-arrange the courses of
lectures with a view to their accommodation, the necessity for increased lecture room
has become imperative. A new suite of lecture-rooms and laboratories for the depart-
ment of Biology is accordingly in progress and will be ready for use in October, 1889.
This will not only greatly add to the needful facilities for instruction in the various
branches of that important department of science but will leave free for other depart-
ments, now greatly in need of increased accommodation, the lecture-room hitherto devoted
to the use of the Professor of Biology.
In noting the various changes in what now constitutes the joint Faculty of the Uni-
versity and University College, the Council beg leave very respectfully to invite the
attention of your Honor, and that of the Government, to the very unsatisfactory condi-
tion in which they are placed by the protracted delay in bringing into full operation the
late Act, which effects very important changes in the constitution both of the University
and College, by the creation of a University Professoriate, with provisions for its organi-
zation as a University Council entrusted with the government and discipline of the
Faculty and students.
By the provisions of the Act certain sections and sub-sections took immediate action
on the passing of the Act. including section 5, which established a teaching faculty in the
University and determines the subjects assigned to the University Professors. By sub-
sequent causes the teaching by Professors, Lecturers or Fellows of University College is
strictly limited to a narrow range of specified subjects. The provisions of those clauses
have already been to some considerable extent carried into effect by the creation of dis-
tinct Chairs of Mathematics, Physics, the Greek Language and Literature, the Oriental
Languages, History, and Political Science ; as well as Lectureships in Physiology, Physics,
the Greek and Latin Languages, Literature and History.
But while the former teaching faculty has thus been greatly modified and augmented,
the University Council (rendered indispensable by the creation of a staff of University
Professors, embracing two-thirds of the teaching faculty), though fully provided for in
clauses 56, 57, and 58, and entrusted with authority and entire responsibility of discipline
not only over the students but over all officers and servants of the University, remains in a
state of suspense pending the proclamation of the Act. Meanwhile, by the reconstruction of
former Professorships, and the transfer of the majority of the Professors to the University
staff, the College Council has no longer a legal quorum, and the whole government of the
University and College in relation to Professors, Lecturers and students is beset with
uncertainty.
The Faculty have accordingly hailed with sincere satisfaction an informal announce-
ment which holds out the promise of the Act being proclaimed not later than May next.
With a view to the best interests of the University and College, and in order to enable
hi co mbined faculties to turn to full advantage all the recent changes effected in their
r^ai izati on, they earnestly pray that the provisions of the Act indispensable for their
ff . oti vely carrying out the work entrusted to them may be brought into full operation as
peedily as the Government may see fit.
By the abolition of all foundation scholarships, and the appropriations available in
past years for prizes, a valuable class of rewards for the highest honors in the College
Class-lists has been withdrawn. But through the liberality of graduates and other frienda
of the University, and the gift of various medals and prizes by Professors and other
enef actors, the loss has to some extent been repaired. Among those have now to be
n eluded the Cawthorne Medal, the gift of F. F. Shutt, Esq., M.A., late Fellow in the
212
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
department of Chemistry. A special die has been engraved at the donor's expense, and
the medal is awarded under the direction of the Natural Science Association of Univer-
sity College for the encouragement of original research in that department.
The classification and relative standing of the students and the ranking of competi-
tors for prizes and honors have been determined as in former years by examinations
conducted in the College, and the examinations of the second and third years have been
carried out in co-operation with co-examiners appointed by the University. The benefits
anticipated by restoring to the Faculty a larger share in the work of examination have
been fully realized, alike in the more diligent attendance on lectures and in the results of
the examinations
The scholarships, prizes and honors at the disposal of the Faculty have been awarded
to the successful competitors, who were present to receive them at the Annual Convo-
cation held on the 19th of October. The honor lists of the year, along with those of all
the students in attendance and a synopsis of the lectures and other details relative to the
work of the University and College, will be found in the calendar of the current year.
All of which is respectfully reported.

Annual Report op the School of Practical Science, Toronto, 1888.
To the Honorable G. W. Ross, M.P.P., Minister of Education : —
Sir, — I have the honor to submit herewith the Report of the School of Practical
Science for the year 1888. This embraces the work carried on throughout the current
year, and so includes the Easter Term of 1887-8 and the Michaelmas Term of 1888-9,
during which the various departments of study and practical work have been diligently
prosecuted in the lecture rooms and laboratories, and in the field work carried on in rela-
tion to Ceology, Surveying and Levelling.
1. The following is a classified summary of the attendance during the above named
terms of the current year, including the students pursuing special subjects in the full
courses taught in the School of Science, and also those proceeding to a Degree in Civil
Engineering, in Arts or in Medicines in the University : —

2 The fees of students proceeding to a Diploma of the School of Practical Science in
the. Department of Engineering, or availing themselves of the special training in Applied
Chemistry during the year 1887-8, and paid in to the Provincial Treasurer, have amounted
to £2,010, being an increase of §310 as compared with the last year's fees.
3. The work carried on in the School of Science under the Professors of Engineering
and Applied Chemistry, in conjunction with the instructions given in Mathematics and
Physics and in the Natural Sciences, by Professors and Lecturers of the University and
University College, has greatly extended the advantages enjoyed by students of the School ;
and the appointment of Fellows in the department has augmented the facilities for neces-
sary subdivision of the work and thereby greatly increased the advantages available for
all the students. In addition to such extended means for overtaking the work of both
institutions, the appointment of Mr. Louis B. Stewart, D.T.S., during the current term
as lecturer in Surveying supplies a long-felt want, and cannot fail to prove of great prac-
tical benefit to the Engineering Students.
4. The following constitute the teaching staff of the school, including the Fellows of
the year 1887-8, in the several departments : —
J. Galbraith, M.A., Assoc. Mem. Inst. C.E., Professor of Engineering.
L. B. Stewart, D.T.S., Lecturer in Surveying.
D. Burns, Esq., Fellow.
W. H. Ellis, M.A., Ph.D., Professor of Applied Chemistry.

J. L. Morris 1881 1885
J. H. Kennedy 1862 1886
Mr. D. Burns, Grad. S.P.S., has been re-appointed to the Fellowship in the Engineer-
ing for the current year 1888-9. His duties are the continuous superintendence of the
practical work of the students, necessary in addition to teaching.
The efficiency of the school will be greatly promoted as a result of the lectureship
in surveying which has been instituted. Mr. Louis B. Stewart, D.T.S., a gentleman
well qualified both by practical experience and mathematical attainments, has been
appointed to till this position.
The work under his charge is the following: —
Geodesy, Including Land and Engineering Surveying,Hydrographic Surveying,Minincr
Surveying, Applied Astronomy, Descriptive Geometry, and Map and Topographical Draw-
ing. His time between the lectures will be employed in superintending the practical work
of the students at the drawing table,and in the field as far as it belongs to his subjects.
The Professor of Engineering now gives instruction in the following subjects, viz :
Applied Statics and Dynamics, strength of materials and theory of construction
hydraulics, Thermodynamics and Theory of °team Engine, Principles of Mechanism and
Machine Design.
The Board would respectfully urge that the time has now arrived for inaugurating
a regular course in Mechanical (including Electrical), Engineering.
215
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
The School of Practical Science, in conjunction with the University, is now prepared
to give instruction in Mechanical Engineering in all but two branches ; these are manual
instruction in the work-shop operations and practical instruction in an engineering
laboratory.
The Board of Management does not advise the erection of shops for affording such
manual instruction, at all events, at present. The result, as far as the graduates of the
school are concerned, can be arrived at by a regulation making it necessary that candi-
dates for this diploma shall have spent a certain time (at least one year), in shops before
it is granted.
A properly equipped engineering laboratory, however, is a necessity in any Engineer-
ing School. It should contain testing machines of various kinds for determining the
strength, elasticity, dui'ability, etc., of materials used in engineering constructions and
machines.
It should also have an experimental engine and boiler for making economy tests
under various conditions that may occur in practice.
As a matter of necessity it must be furnished with instruments for making measures
of precision of all kinds.
This laboratory should be under the direct charge of a demonstrator thoroughly
qualified to superintend the laboratory work assigned to various subdivisions of students.
His services should be required daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., including frequently attend-
ance on Saturdays and holidays.
No instructor can be recognized as qualified to take such a position who has not
received a mathematical education, embracing the usual applications of the differential
and integral calculus which occur in engineering problems. He must also be a mechanical
engineer of fair experience in the use and care of engines, boilers and machinery.
A laboratory thus equipped is not intended solely for the use of candidates for the
diploma in Mechanical Engineering. It is no less necessary for the education of civil
engineers and architects.
The Board begs leave, further, to suggest the desirableness of establishing a lecture-
ship in architecture. A reference to the list of subjects still assigned to the professors of
engineering will show that many of them form a necessary portion of an architectural
course such'as applied Statics, strength of materials, theory of construction and Hydraulics.
A^ain, Thermodynamics in special relation to heating and ventilation supplies two other
very necessary portions of such a course. The University now furnishes all needful
requirements for teaching the necessary acoustics and other branches of physics which
are not embraced in the work of the School. In like manner all the requirements in
applied chemistry can be taught by the present staff. The duties of the lecturer in archi-
tecture would be to train the student in the applications of the principles of the above
sciences to the problems which occur in architectural practice, as the engineering students
are now trained in applying them to engineering problems.
He must, therefore, be possessed of the requisite mathematical training, or in the
corresponding requirements indispensable for the instructor in engineering.
His duties, also, embrace a course of lectures on the history of architecture, and he
would be expected to give instruction, both in the lecture room and the drafting room, in
architectural design.
In submitting the above recommendations the Board further adds the special sugges-
tion of the Professor of Engineering that — if the Board shall see fit to act upon them — it
is desirable that they shall keep in view in the appointment of the proposed demonstrator
in the engineering laboratory, and the lecturer in architecture, the selection o men
possessed of such qualifications as shall enable them to take, in addition to their special
work, a portion of what still devolves upon him in excess of the capabilities of any single
professor. Thus the lecturer in architecture might take up the development of the sub-
ieot of Thermodynamics to heating and ventilation, which cannot be done at present, in
addition to which he might also teach applied statics. Again, instruction in the prin-
ciples of mechanism might be assigned to the demonstrator in the mechanical laboratory.
Attention to the points here referred to in the choice of these instructors is of
importance, with a view to combine economy and efficiency, as it will prevent the neces-
216
'25 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
sity of appointing another lecturer to take some of the extra subjects now devolving on
the Professor of Engineering.
It is scarcely necessary for this Board to represent to the Government that the
imposing on any single instructor too great a variety of subjects cannot tend to secure
the most efficient results. It is not the object of this department to turn out civil or
mechanical engineers, surveyors and architects fully prepared for professional life, but
simply to afford students an opportunity for obtaining such systematic training in the
chemical, physical and mathematical sciences upon which the above professions are founded
as will enable them, when they enter upon the work of the shop, office or held, to devote
themselves chiefly to the practical side of their work. A student who has' had systematic
training in the pure and applied sciences pertaining to his profession is in a position to
gain practical knowledge in a much shorter time, and much more effectively, than one who
is thrown on his own resources without such an education.
Additional accommodation is still required in this department, including two draft-
ing rooms for the engineering students, one for architectural students, two lecture rooms
tin- engineering students, one for architectural students, a reference library, an architec-
tural model room, a room for the engineering society, an examination hall and an
engineering laboratory.
C_') Mathematics and Physics.
By the appointment of separate chairs in the Departments of Mathematics and
Physics, with a Fellow in each, in addition to the Demonstrators in the latter, all mem-
bers of the Faculty of the University, additional facilities are placed within reach of the
students of the school. Since the last report important additions have been made to the
Physical Apparatus, especially to the branch of electricity; and a special laboratory has
provided for this important branch of practical instruction.
(3) Chemistry.
The division of the Department of Chemistry into the two branches of Pure and
Applied Chemistry continues to prove practical and convenient. Under this division the
Professor of Chemistry undertakes the preliminary training of all students who make
Chemistry in any form part of their work. The class in Elementary Chemistry is then
made up of students in the Departments of Engineering, and of Applied Chemistry in
Medicine, in the pass course of the University and in the special honor science course.
These form a very large class, and the limit of the capacity of the Chemical Lecture
Room is almost reached. Veiy urgent need is felt of increased ventilation. The present
lecture space will accommodate 200 persons. The largest attendance at present is 187,
and this number renders the room unpleasantly close at the end of the lecture.
The Professor of Chemistry calls attention to the unsatisfactory construction of the
lecture-room floor; in consequence of the large numbers attending the lectures the table
vibrates to such an extent as to make it impossible to have any delicate glass apparatus
placed upon it, and many pieces of lecture apparatus, which ought to be shewn in action,
cannot be used on this account.
(aj Analytical and Applied Chemist nj.
The object of this department is to afford instruction in those branches of Chemistry
which bear upon the industrial arts and the public welfare.
In carrying out this object the requirements of three classes of students are kept in
view : (1) The regular students in Engineering. (2) Those students who desire to go
through a systematic course of Chemical training in order to fit themselves for the busi-
ness of analytical or manufacturing chemist. (3) Special students who wish to spend a
longer or shorter time in the study and laboratory practice of one or more branches of
Analytical and Applied Chemistry.
15 (E.) 217
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
(1) Lectures are given to the students of Engineering on the following subjects:
The Chemistry of Construction, fuels and furnaces; Explosives; Artificial Lighting; Building
Materials, their composition and analysis and the means for their preservation ; Sanitary
Chemistry, including the Chemistry of air, water and sewage ; and Metallurgy, particu-
larly the Metallurgy of iron and steel.
In the event of a Department of Architecture being established in the School these
lectures will be available for the students in that department. Opportunity for practical
work in the laboratory is afforded to all the Engineering students.
(2) The demand for professional chemists in this country is as yet small ; but two
students are now pursuing the regular course in this department and one has left the
Laborator}r to accept a situation as Assistant Chemist to the Geological Survey.
(3) A considerable number of special, students have from time to time availed them-
selves of the facilities afforded them in the Laboratory of Applied Chemistry. Some of
these have studied some branch of Analytical Chemistry, such as food analysis, others
have been engaged in some business or manufacture in which chemical processes play an
important part, and have desired to get that insight into these processes, which can only
be obtained in the Laboratory. In all these cases facilities have been afforded as far as
possible for each special student to pursue the study of those pares of the science which
specially bear on his particular case.
(4) In addition to these three classes of students, the medical students of the Uni-
versity have received their instruction in Practical Chemistry in this Laboratory during
this year and last.
The principal needs of this department at the present time are the following :
1st. Better lecture-room accommodation. The only lecture room available to the
Professor of Applied Chemistry is a small room shared with him by four other instruc-
tors. This lecture room has none of the arrangements essential to a chemical lecture-room,
is without ventilation, and is without communication to the Laboratory — circumstances
which render illustration of the lectures by experiment almost impossible.
2nd. More Laboratory space.
The Laboratory is most inconveniently crowded. There is almost no storeroom
accommodation, so that specimens for the illustration of the teaching cannot be kept in
such a way as to render them easily accessible for study.
The more advanced students are obliged to work along with the junior students, an
arrangement which operates greatly to the disadvantage of the former ; and there is no
provision for work of a special character requiring special apparatus.
Operations of this kind have to be carried on in the general Laboratory, and the
apparatus required to carry them on cannot be left standing from one day to another, as
is absolutely necessary for extended experimental research, but has to be taken away to
make room for the next class.
3rd. There is no balance room. Weighing has to be done either in the open labora-
tory, which is ruinous to a line balance, or in the Professor's private room.
4th. With regard to the study of mortars and cements, and other building materials,
it is most desirable that machines for testing the strength of these materials be provided,
in order that the relation between mere physical properties as materials of construction
and their chemical composition might be studied, and made evident to the student. In
these respects the erection of an engineering laboratory, properly equipped, will be of
great advantage to the Department of Applied Chemistry.
5th. Another deficiency strongly felt is the want of a proper collection of specimens,
diagrams and models for illustrating the teaching in the various branches. Such a col-
lection has already been begun upon a small scale, but without proper accommodatio 1 for
storage and proper facilities for exhibiting the specimens, etc., it is impossible to make
any great advance in this direction. An improvement in this respect would enormously
enhance the usefulness of the Department.
218
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
(4) Biology.
Owing to the rapid growth and expansion of the University, the work in the Depart-
ment of Biology has been greatly extended. By the appointment of a lecturer in physi-
ology a much-felt want has been supplied, and the provision of valuable appliances for
practical instruction has largely increased the facilities of study. But the inadequacy of
the accommodation in this and other departments, to which repeated reference has been
made in former reports, became at length so manifest that the Board of Trustees of the
University has approved of a plan for the erection of an entirely new building for the
several scientific departments. Of this, the east wing, designed to accommodate the
instructors and students in the Department of Biology and Physiology, is now far
advanced, and will be available next Michaelmas Term. Meanwhile, part of the practical
instruction in this Department, viz., that of the Fourth and Third Year students in Arts,
is given in the School of Science, while the lectures and practical instruction of the
remaining classes in Arts, and of the Medical students, are held in the University build-
ings. So soon as the new buildings, now in progress of erection, are complete and ready
for occupation, the rooms at present in use will be available for other purposes of the School
of Science.
(5) Mineralogy and Geology.
In this department there is pressing need of additional lecture room accommodation.
The single room at present available is used for the work of several departments, and the
Professor of Mineralogy and Geology is only able to have access to it at irregular hours
when some of his students find difficulty in attending. The mineral and assay laboratory
is also insufficient, as regards size and appliances, to accommodate more than a
very limited number of students at a time. The classes in attendance have consequently
to be subdivided, and the same work has to be repeated, thus greatly restricting the period
of attendance for each student. Additional appliances and specimens are also required
for the proper illustration of certain subjects taught in this Department, more especially
as regards Mining Geology and the more advanced lectures in Palaeontology.
(6) Heating Apparatus.
The Board begs leave to recall to the attention of the Minister of Education the
serious inconvenience caused by the inadequacy of the heating apparatus in the School of
Science building. This has been increasingly felt since the extension of the chemical
laboratories. The annual waste from breakage in the laboratories and the bursting of
pipes on the sudden fall of the temperature, is in itself an urgent reason for the remedy
of this defect as soon as possible.
All of which is respectfully reported.

Report of the Victoria Industrial School, Mimico, 1888.
Sir, — I have the honor to present the second annual report of the Victoria Industria.
School for the year ending September 30th. 181 -
The following statement shows the cost per week per boy for maintenance :—
Instruction and Management $1.30
Provisions ■ •'
I Jlothing 24
Fuel and Light
Furniture and Furnishings 13
Farm Expenses, including Stock, Implements, Fencing and Lumber
for Improvements 52
Other Expenses 21
Total ordinary cost $3 37
To which add interest on loan 30
Total to be provided for 83 67
This amount is made up as follows : —
Municipalities from which boys come pay $2 00
The City of Toronto pays (Teacher's Salary) 48
Private Contributions and ' Grants 1 19
Beside the additional cottage accommodation referred to by the board of manage-
ment in the report, a barn and workshop are urgently needed. So far we have been
compelled to stack our fodder and to use the implement house aa a carpenter's shoo.
It is found that private liberality and subscriptions will not provide funds necessary
to make up the deficiency on maintenance, and at the same time give the means for the
permanent improvements.
The work is a very worthy one. Great good is being accomplished. It deserves
the sympathy and hearty support of the Government and Legislature of Ontario. They
will find that the prt m ntion of crime is very much more economical than its punishment.
Report of the Board of Management.
To th" Board of Governors of the Toronto Industrial School Association:
i^j mlemex, — Your Board of Management in presenting its report for 1887-88 has
much pleasure in stating that the year has been one of marked progress and general
223
52 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 6). A. 1889
advance along the whole line of industrial education, and that, though there has never
been any doubt of the necessity and usefulness of the Association, the success of the work
has this year been of such a character as far to exceed the most sanguine hopes of the
friends of the cause.
The Victoria Industrial School has been in operation only eighteen months, and in
this brief period lads that, but for the existence of the School would have continued in
their downward course, and perhaps have been to-day condemned to a more or less
lengthy term of confinement in our gaols, prisons, or penal reformatory, have been trained
to habits of industry, soberness, and prudence. Your Board has much satisfaction in
being able to state that a reference to the school records will show that the strictest
discipline has been maintained, with the infliction of even less severe punishment than is
found in the ordinary public schools of the Province. As instancing the esprit de, corps
which animates the lads, your Board would beg leave to state that absolutely no attempts
to escape have been made during the year. The affection of the lads for the School was
shown in a remarkable and encouraging manner by their recent conduct at the Toronto
Exhibition. Taken to the grounds, and permitted to wander wherever their inclinations
led them, they all assembled promptly at the appointed time and place ; this too, though
had any one of them cared to make his escape he would have had every facility, owing to
the enormous crowd, and to the continuous departure of trains from the grounds.
During the year a second cottage has been erected designed to accommodate fifty
boys. Your Board regrets that this additional accommodation is by no means adequate
for the number of applicants for admission, and it would respectfully suggest that the-
Board of Governors devise some means of raising the funds needed for the erection of
at least two additional cottages. In the circumstances it has been thought well by your
Board of Management, to begin the erection of a third cottage. It is believed that the
citizens of Toronto and of Ontario generally, have, in order to become interested, only to
learn that a large number of poor lads are anxiously looking to the school for help, and
that every day many of them become more inextricably involved in the dreadful life of
crime that awaits them unless they are speedily rescued.
In submitting the report of the Superintendent your Board desires to express its
sincere regret in losing his services, and to place on record in. as public a way as possible
the fact that the great success of the School has been largely due to the wisdom, patience
and energy of Mr. W. J. Hendry, the first Superintendent of the School. Your Board
would recommend that Mr. Hendry's name be placed on the list of Governors, in order
that the Association may have the benefit of his advice and experience. The new Super-
intendent, Mr. McKinnon, late Inspector of the County of Peel, undertakes his duties
highly recommended, and it is expected that he will carry to a successful issue the work
so well initiated and organized by his predecessor.
Your Board would further report that, moved by the urgent need of an institution for
girls, similar to the Victoria School for boys, it is desirous of undertaking the establish-
ment of a Girls' Industrial School. It is intended to make the new institution a place
of education and training for the waifs of the city and Province, and your Board recom-
mends the new School to the active sympathies of the Governors of the Association and
to the public generally.
In conclusion, your Board would gratefully acknowledge the goodness of God, the
Creator and Preserver of us all, who has laid the " sad estate" of the unfortunate little
ones as a burden upon the hearts of so many, and whose guiding hand has been manifest
in beginning and carrying on this movement to its present state, and in creating a warm
sympathy on the part of many who have supported the School by their influence, their
gifts and their prayers.

Report of the Superintendent.
To the Board of Management, Victoria Industrial School :
Gentlemen, — I have the honor and pleasure to present my second annual report
of the Victoria Industrial School for the fiscal year ending September 30th, 1888.
The first boy was received on 14th June, 1887. Since that time sixty -two boys
have been received and have enjoyed the benefits to be derived from the School. Of this
number there are in the School now fifty-five boys. Three have been discharged and handed
over to their parents, three have been returned to their parents on probation, and one
has been sent to Penetanguishene. A good report has been received of boys discharged
and returned to their parents on probation.
Of the whole number of boys received, the
County of Bruce sent 2

Tailoring 13
Farming and Gardening 12
Carpenter work 10
In the various departments they are making fairly good progress, and are becoming
quite skilled at their work. The house and laundry work is done well. The tailor boys
are steadily acquiring skill, and will now be able to do the tailoring required in the
Institution, as well as the necessary repairs to coats and pants. The baker boys are also
improving. The farm boys are now able to handle the hoe, rake, spade and various other
tools with ease and grace, and are fast becoming very handy and useful boys. The car-
penter boys are much interested in their work, and it is pleasing to observe the careful
and neat way they handle and take care of their tools. I am very sure that the training
the boys are receiving industrially will be of great service when they go out into the
world to do for themselves.
A glance at the work accomplished by the boys will be interesting. Besides the
housework necessary to keep everything in both buildings in good order, and the baking,
cooking and laundrying, we have

It must be remembered that this amount has been accomplished, in addition to
learning " how to work."
It is a matter of satisfaction to me to report the great improvement in the manners
and general bearing of the lads. There is an entire absence of what might be called
profane language. The public sentiment is in favor of fair dealing and manliness.
There is now evinced a feeling of contentment and trust that is worthy of some notice.
Since December, 1887, there has not been a single attempt to escape made. Several of
the boys have been allowed to go to the city to see their friends, In each case they
returned promptly on time. They visited the Toronto Industrial Exhibition in perfect
freedom and promptly returned at the appointed time. And although improper proposals
were made to many of them by old companions, I am happy to say they had strength of
will to refuse all such offers. During the summer months they enjoyed a weekly bath in
the lake, and many of them learned to swim. The march out for this purpose was always
a source of pleasure.
The home life in the Cottage has been very harmonious. The children reverently
attend at morning and evening prayers. The Scripture lessons were taken largely from
the Psalms, Proverbs and the historical parts of the Bible, and embraced a number of
subjects, as " The Creation," " The World without the Bible," " Duty to Ourselves,"
i: The Duty we Owe to One Another," " The Power of Habit," etc. These lessons have
been much enjoyed, and at no time appeared as an irksome duty.
227

They attended the village churches once a day each Sabbath. The interest taken in
the services was marked. The Sunday School was conducted by the Superintendent each
Sabbath. The course of lessons embraced the International series. Great interest was
taken in the lessons, It is to be hoped that this sowing of the seed, both in the Cottage
and the Sunday School in such willing hearts, will bring forth good fruit, and influence
greatly the lives of the lads in the coming years. The work in the day school was very
satisfactory. They are acquiring considerable knowledge and are steadily improving.
Most attention is paid to three " R's " and letter writing. The chief factors used in
attaining the improvement that has been made in the lads, morally, socially, education-
ally, industrially and physically, are : —
1. Punctuality, regularity and cleanliness of habits which are insisted on.
2. Regular hours of work, and play, and systematic military drill.
3. The attention paid to singing.
4. Good wholesome food and plenty of sleep.
5. The constant attention paid to the boys. At no time are they without the
influence of the Superintendent or some of the officers of the School.
6. Direct lessons in self-restraint, manliness, truth, love, duty, etc., accom-
panied by good example.
I would again very respectfully and earnestly direct your attention to the great
need that exists for an infirmary, or hospital, as at present there is no place about the
Institution in which we could isolate and care for the lads here committed, in case of an
infectious disease. I hope that before another }'ear rolls past that means will be supplied
by which this felt want can be provided for.
In resigning my charge, I teg to thank the Board of Management, as a board and
individually, for their kind support and encouragement in the performance of my duties ;
without such sympathy as was given me I feel that the work would have been much more
arduous. I thank the officers of the School for the manner in which they have performed
their duties.
I also recommend to you my worthy successor, and hope that the work will prosper
in his hands, and that the benign influence of a kind Providence may continue to be felt
in the Victoria Industrial School.
Physician's Report.
In presenting the First Annual Report with regard to the health of the boys of the
Victoria Industrial School, I am pleased to be able to state that my duties have been
very light.
Considering the fact that some of the boys are not in the best of health upon their
entrance, the rapidity with which they assume a healthy appearance speaks volumes for
the health of the locality, and the excellent hygienic and internal management of the
School. "With the exception of an accident to one of the boys, which I am afraid will
result in the loss of an eye, there has been little surgery. The boy was sent to the Eye
Department, General Hospital, for treatment.
Owing to smallpox being close at hand I thought it advisable to vaccinate those
requiring it, and successfully vaccinated forty-one boys, the local Board of Health of the
Township of Etobicoke kindly assuming the cost. Because we have had immunity from
disease in the past, let us be thankful, but I would advise your Board to make some
little preparation for the future, such as a room in the attic of one of the cottages, so that
we could isolate cases of infectious disease should such unhappily arise. I would also
recommend you to procure an Emergency Surgical Case, as well as a few medicines.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
J. M. COTTON.
